Suggest Treatment For Severe Sunburn

I had a sever sunburn. THen it peeled badly a bit for a day. Not all but just some. Then I was out in the sun again the next day for like an hour with no sun block on again and am now burned even Worse in the spots where I peeled. Feels worse because it s like fresh skin that is now sunburned. Feels a lot worse. Putting aloe on stings! It has turned into a crusty and painful scab. What do you recommend?
