Is it normal for sunburns to itch? I was just wondering because I got burnt on my lower back, my upper arms, and my chest, and lately they've been itchin a whole lot. Last night I had to take benadryl (sp?) just to fall asleep, also I think I burnt my thighs too because they itch like mad.

Do you think the sunburn in the reason that I'm so friggin itchy? If not, what do you think is? And either way, how can I stop the itching???? Or is benadryl (sp?) the only way.
I know this is a weird question, but the itching just won't go away. Thanks in advance.

if your sunburn is itching excessively look and see if there is little bumps..if so you could have gotten a heat rash or sunpoisining. aloe will soothe it, but probably wont stop the itching. benedryl is probably a safe way to go for the itching. If it consists, just call your doctor, you dont have to make an appointment or anything, and let him/her know whats going on. they will be glad to help im sure.
