Answer 1

I think : a month or so?

Answer 2

Generally depending on your skin complexion and severity of the burn the pain will last 2-4 days, less if the burn is minor, more if the burn is severe(in which case seeing a doctor is not a bad idea). Also peeling which generally occurs with burns, will take a few more days but peeling although unsightly, is not usually painful. Treatment can be applied in many different lotions(aloe vera)/home remedies/etc. Also avoid exposures to the sun to make sure the condition does not worsen which could make the burn last a few more days. If you have blisters on your shoulders, back,arms ect. then sunburn may last about 1-3 weeks, depends on how bad.

Answer 3

Usually around 3 to a max of 1 week. Depending on how bad you got sunburnt, the longer it will take. Just apply lots of sunburn cream and aloe vera spray to it. It helps alot. Try not to peel off your skin. It usually starts peeling your skin after a bad sunburn. Just keep cool with a fan on your back which keeps it from getting too hot! Dont go in the sun for a least 4 days prior to the sunburn.

Hope this helps and sorry for the sunburn

Answer 4

You can start getting sunburn from as little as 5 minutes in the midday sun. It really depends on what time of day it is, how much melanin you skin has produced (how tanned you are) and how intense the sun is. from midday, UV levels high, and 20 degrees C, about 5-10 minutes to get a sun burn from 5pm, UV levels low, and 5 degrees C, about 30-45 minutes to get a sun burn But if you slowly tan to build up a resistance to the sun it may take much longer.

Answer 5

It depends how bad it is.

Usually about 2 to 3 days.

Use some Aloe with Lidocane Gel, If you don't have that Vinagar help, stinks but helps.
