ouch! Just continue to put aloe on, take warmish showers, no cold and no hot showers because for some reason its bad for sunburns. Put on Aqua4...if theres that in australia. Its ok if you peel, you live in a very warm place, were probably lots of people get sunburned. If your skin is starting to look a little funky, deffinitly go to the doctor and get it checked out. Sun could = Skin cancer, so, just to be on the safe side. Dont forget suntan lotion!
Hope i helped!

I know it's painful. I've too been sunburned and learnd my lesson. Keep putting aloe vera gel on you. You can't possibly over dose on it and it can't hurt you. It's the best thing for sunburn. Also use Noxzema and vitamin E oil it is available in drugstores. If you are still in pain put an ice pack on you. If you don't have an ice pack frozen peas or anything frozen out of the freezer will do.
However, if it's as red and as painful as you say you probably will peal. Take a cold bath to help with the pain.
Never again go in the sun without sunblock and carry a wrap with you next time you go to the beach to cover yourself.

Well if you are thinking of how it looks- it kind of looks hott lol. (BTW make sure to wear WHITE to school [;)
You SHOULD put ice on it and AS MUCH ALOE VERA as possible. You were right to take a cold shower, but you sould always put sunscreen on from now.
Also, if you are NAWT peeling, you can put some concealer on, but if you are, put very LITTLE or none at all because it might look weird. OBAGI [search it on google] has some good products.
Hope I helped!
