Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Sun Burn
My sunburn on my chest and shoulders is turning kind of purple. I cant sleep because if I lay down I have to on my sun burnt skin and the pain is unbearable. My mom let me stay home from school today because I couldn t even put my clothing on. Ive tried pain killers and aloe. Nothing ive tried has made the pain subside. Also, when I apply aloe my skin gets even more red and gets white spots. Please help.
