I've had many a bad sunburn (Blonde, Blue eyed, myself). Once the redness and peeling is over with, now help your skin smile again. Talk about a face peel huh? Ha ha. No really. Use a very creamy thick lotion, with no menthol or parafin, that your skin will eat up. It may cost you at least $10 to help sooth the ich. Another week to 10 days you should feel better! The ich is from the new skin you have exposed underneath that burned skin, this now tender "new" skin needs to get used to being the "top" skin now, which is not what it was ready for when you had the top skin peel off! A lot of people might suggest Calamide Lotions, but any "lotion" with chemicles, other than natural oils, might make matters worse! Think no chemicals, absolutely no perfumes if possible. The new skin is so delicate, and has never been "exposed" to the "real" world it is in now, with all its preservatives and aromatherapy scented everything. Stick with what might be called "skin creams" rather than more runny "body lotions". Try to stay away from scratching this tender skin, you might tear it! It will make it turn real red, may cause blood to rise to the surface, and make it ich more! You are damaged the tender skin that covers your whole body....forever Yep, its the healing process now! Another week or two and the skin will have adjusted to its exposure to the air better. Having lost the top layers of your skin the cancer causing cells possibly deforming during this process are more likely to happen during this renewal process and there is no way to tell. Getting a serious sunburn is a proven fact to your possibly getting skin cancer. Watch that sun! Its not a beautiful tan when you walk around looking like a fool to get so burned! Everyone see's how thoughtless you were by not taking care of your body. Besides, suncreens help you attract the opposite sex, if wished, by asking to have some rubbed on!

Best advice is, don't ever get a sunburn. Having said that, there are some medications that help with itching, especially at night. These would be anti-histamines like Benadryl. Take 50 - 75 mg. of Benadryl (aka diphenhydramine) at bedtime, and it will help you to sleep through it. Expect to be hung over in the morning, though. Another remedy (but harder to get) is lidocaine or benzocaine spray. This remedy only works for 20 minutes or so. Ice packs can help, as can a wet towel under a fan. Good luck. Days.
