I got a very bad sunburn today, and was wondering if anyone knew any “home” remedies I could try. I hardly ever sunburn, and its been a few years since I got one this bad.

So I’ve had no problems with my sunburn since I got it on Sunday, besides that whole burning when moving, or touching, but today at about 2:00 I began to get strong itching feelings on my upper back and shoulders, where the sunburn is. I’ve tried everything from cold compresses to anti-itch spray, te spray has taken the edge off, but hasn’t really helped, any ideas?

I have heard that sunburns do not become skin cancer immediately. How many months or years does it take for a sunburn to become skin cancer?

My friend recently had a sunburn. Her sunburn was not healing and it became worse, so she went to a dermatologist 3 months after the sunburn happened. The dermatologist found that she has skin cancer. Could it be that she had skin cancer all along, and the recent sunburn did not cause her cancer?

I went to the beach today and got a pretty good sunburn (the worst is on the neck). I’m going to Sea World on Friday and don’t want to go with a sunburn. Is there any way to reduce the redness of a sunburn?
