I've read several inquiries online from people desperately seeking relief as they experience an unusual deep nerve penetrating itch after a sunburn.
My family has experienced this for three generations and when we finally found this soulution we try to let others know.
For intense-deep-i'm going crazy-sunburn itch ....get PEPPERMINT OIL. Be careful not to buy peppermint extract. You can find PEPPERMINT OIL in health food stores and natural foods stores. There are some pharmacists who know about this and carry it as well...not many though.
Rub the oil directly on the affected area until all of the surface is covered. If you can't reach...for back burns, have someone else apply thorougly.
The hands of whoever applies it will feel the cooling affect of the oil even after they wash their hands. It feels fine, not painful in anyway. AVOID any contact with eyes, mouth or nose however as they will be irritated by the oil.
This is the ONLY thing that works nearly instantly and permanently with this deep nerve sunburn itch that some people experience. One application is all that is necessary as Peppermint oil is pretty potent. Please try this. I know the insanity you are feeling if you are going through this right now.
Again I'm talking about unusually intensedeep nerve itching, not regular peeling skin itch that most people experience post sunburn. This deeper, intense almost pinching itch begins usually one or two days following a burn and those who experience it feel as though they are going crazy as it's intensity is nearly unbearable.
Things to avoid that only make this itch worse...don't apply any lotion or other oils. This includes pure aloe vera which seems to just dry it more. Standing under a cool shower spray can help as long as you are in it while you wait for someone to buy the PEPPERMINT OIL. Anyone who has gone through this knows that any relief brought by the spray of water goes away as soon as you get out of the shower and start to dry the itch returns.
PEPPERMINT OIL WILL remove the itch.
Just writing about this always makes me remember the insane feeling of experiencing this and makes me hopeful others will find this in time to find relief.
Once you've used it IT WILL WORK. You'll want to keep the oil on hand and avoid at all costs exposing yourself to the sun again like that in the future. We know two things about it...if you've experienced it once you are vulnerable to it happening again, and, it seems to be a genetic thing. About half of my family members have experienced it once, two of them twice. We don't risk it anymore. It is sure nice to know what to do about it though.
I research this quite a lot to see if other's have found this solution. I did see a few posts that have indicated that gold balm medicated powder has worked for some relief too. I haven't tried that (and don't intend to EVER be in the position to need to), but it's worth writing about any real relief as this is such a crazy thing to experience with no relief.
Hope you find this and find the help we did.

How long does the itchiness last from scarlet fever?
it really depends on how bad the sunburn was. my advice would be to but lots of aloe on it and a good thick lotion..like cetaphil Sunburn itch will last as long as you have blisters on burned skin
Why do i have rashes that come and go?
Sounds like heat rash, cotton underwear and some fresh air should sort it.

How do you feel if you have a sunburn?
Depends on how bad your sunburn is. A mild one and you'll be uncomfortable, or your skin could sting and even itch, too. A severe one and you're in agony, running a fever, and even becoming delirious. Blistering, dehydration and a severe electrolyte imbalance can cause delirium, shock and even death from sunpoisoning.
Can you use bio oil for sun burn?
yes it is good but use aloe as well. Bio oil will prevent any peeling. I used it on severe sunburn and it turned the blisters into crispy bits. With no itch.
When you have a sunburn and it starts itching why does it do that?
Well, it is explained that when extreme heat comes in contact to the surface of bare skin, the particles react, in which a way, the atoms vibrate rapidly in an uncontrollable manner, creating your undesirable itch.
Do you scratch an itch or do you itch an itch?
You scratch an itch! An itch itches. You scratch an itch to remove the pain.
