To treat a sunburn, you can use aloe-based gels or creams to help alleviate the pain. You can also use a fragrance-free moisturizer and apply it as often as needed. Avoid hot or cold showers, and gently pat yourself dry instead of rubbing vigorously. If you're not taking any other medications and don't have any medication allergies, you can also take ibuprofen to help with the pain. Remember to take it with food to reduce stomach irritation. For future prevention, make sure to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going out in the sun, and reapply as needed, especially after swimming or sweating.
