Hi..thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum...you got sunburn on your head..
The burn is not that much sever...
I will advise to take bath with cold water twice a day...use some medicated shampoo with soothing effect...if there is itching you can use antiallergic...like fexofenadine...i think in your case pain is not that much that you need painkiller..in case its painful you can use ibuprofen...do cover your head when going again in the sun...use sunblock once heald...enjoy good health
Thanks
