I took my son to the beach yesterday, and have never experienced this much pain with sun burn before. I can not lift my arms or touch my skin, it feels like I have third degree burns. Noting I do is seeming to help.. Any advice

All I can think of is Aloe to cool you down and provide some pain relief. Sunburns are the worst! It should be better in a couple of days. Try and remember to wear lots of sunscreen next time, and re-apply every so often and after you go in the water even if it says waterproof. Hope you feel better soon.

Ouch. I got sun burned last year at the beach. It was quite bad. No fun. When there's a breeze on the beach it's deceiving and we may not notice the sun burning us until we get home and realize. I did put sun block on but I wasn't re applying it enough.
For the sun burn I put on some lotion a lady in the store suggested. It had ALOE in it and something else. It did cool it down a little bit but wasn't enough. It took a few days to heal.

I haven't tried this yet but I read that COCONUT OIL can help relieve the stinging and help bring some relief. IF I am unfortunate enough to get sun burned again I will try the coconut oil.

You can get coconut oil in most supermarkets. It's a like hard butter consistency but as soon as you put it on the skin it melts and easy to apply.

I hope you feel better soon.

If you can tolorate it try getting some 100% Lavender essential oil. Get a bowl with cool water and put about 5-10 drops of the oil in it. Get a soft cloth and soak it in the bowl then lay it on your skin. It takes the heat out. Do this repeatedly till the it no longer feels hot. You might have to change the water but it sure feels good on your skin. You can pick the oil up at any natural products store. It smells good and is also good for relaxation. Hope you feel better soon. ((( gentle hugs)))
