Ouch! Try a cold compress - a bag of frozen veg or something similar.

[mazie]

[scatty mare]

[mazie]

Thought butter on it would be like ,,,,frying'!
And NO,NO,NO,NO there WILL NOT be a next time,hate the sun,hate it,hate it,hate it,3 times i've bared all to the sun,3 times i've burned,bad bad bad sun!!!!!

[mazie]

I've always used butter on bruises cuts and burns...it really does work and no you wont fry honest

[scatty mare]

Butter stops heat escaping from the skin, it might be a good moisturiser once the pain's gone, but not till the skin's cooled down.

electricblue we have all done it at some stage in our lives either on purpose by sunbathing or by accident. drink plenty of cool fluid not ice cold as it will be too much of a shock for your system. also take a couple of paracetemols. tepid bath, if you can stand it or shower.plain yoghurt is very good to put on it. and go to bed. I dont expect you will be very comfortable in the night but should feel slightly better tomorrow. hope you feel better soon. Brenda x
