Itching---no idea what category
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.

Yes, some sunburns do itch and the more you scratch it it will get worse so just try to put your mind on something else and eventually the sunburn will go away and you will have a good tan. :P

yes it is from the sunburn and when it itchies it means it is healing. oh yea when it itchys for me it means that my sskin is going to peal. try putting aol vera lotion, or some aol vera banna boat. hope this helps you out.

yes , its normal the skin your itching will eventualy fall of which is no big deal ... take a cool bath or use a mosiutizer (sp) try calamine lotion .

it's definitely the sunburn. when the skin becomes irritated and dry, it'll itch. use aloe vera, or even better, get some aloe vera lotion for your skin. slather it on and it should help significantly with cooling the skin and stopping the itch.

It's normal for sunburn to itch. I use aloe gel on my sunburn and it helps a lot. But sleep in thin clothes and soft clothes.

Yes sun sunburn itches its normal.. in a couple days you'll probably begin to peal.. and it'll turn into a tan.. ummmm i use this stuff called soloarcaine it helps the burn not hurt so bad or itch real bad.. if you can get any of that then get some type of lotion and rub it on it.. ♥ Dez

It sure can. I don't know why it does but it can make you itch like crazy. Benadryl will work or you can use any body lotion and that will help for a while too. :)

yes, it is normal for them to itch, but DONT SCRATCH! that is how you begin to peel! you could use benadryl, but aloe ointment or aloe gel works really well, too. (it's a green gel that comes in a cool looking bottle) it works best if you keep it in the refrigerator.

o and i forgot ( it't me again) that it's when ur skin is starting to dry out so soon it's going to peel!!!

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.

My sunburns always itch. You can stop them from itching by buying calamine lotion or anything similar to it. There are some clear ones and you just blot it on with a cotton ball and it really works!
