15/f
I'm in Florida for vacation, visiting my dad and step mom. The other day, we went out to the beach. Of course, Florida is very hot so I should have covered my entire body in sunblock. However, I only patted a little on my cheeks and nose :/ Yeah, a VERY stupid move on my part. Now, the sunblock I DID put on was spf 80 and worked extremely well. However, my ears, neck, and splotches of my face where sunblock was not applied are beet red. It hurts SO bad, worse then any sunburn I've ever endured :( and today, I noticed blisters on the tops of my ears! It looks so gross and hurts so much... I hate aloe vera but finally put some on my neck yesterday...so far it has done nothing, but I don't expect it to work in one day... My question is, is there anything at all that will either get rid of the sunburn soon or at least get rid of the blisters? I have to continuously wear my hair up because the blisters 'leak' (EW) onto my hair and it's disgusting... which, in turn, allows more sun to hit my neck...please help :( I'm currently just trying to stay out of the sun... which is pretty hard in the Sunshine State :/ thanks! I'll rate good answers!

I am no expert on sunburn..but i would most definately want all the help i could possibly get if i was in as much pain as you. So I found you some very helpful websites, that give step by step help, and also reccomend various medications that can help you. Feel better!!!

oh, and I found that if you cut a tomato in half, and lightly place little thin slices over sunburn, it stops the burn. (do this to the less damaged parts of your skin) if the peels hurt too mcuh, then squeeze out the juices onto your skin, i did this on my thighs, its okay if the seeds come out.
