How Can Sun Burn On The Lower Legs Be Treated?
I have a sun burn on my inner lower legs that I got kayaking. I put Aloe vera after sun gel on it in the evening and after showering. I take one ibuprofen 800mg tab at bed time and one before lunch seems to help my pain and swelling. It has been a week now and my burn still is hot an intense as day one, should I be doing something else.

If its been one week I would recommend you seek medical attention for possible antibiotics as it may have started to get infected. Also if your showering daily make sure the water is not too hot as it may be causing further damage
