Consult a doctor for sunburn treatment if: The sunburn is severe — with blisters — and covers a large portion of your body. The sunburn is accompanied by a high fever, headache, severe pain, dehydration, confusion, nausea or chills. Also, the following tips might be helpful: 1-Take frequent cool baths or showers to help relieve the pain. 2-Use a moisturizer that contains aloe vera or soy to help soothe sunburned skin. 3-Consider taking aspirin or ibuprofen to help reduce any swelling, redness and discomfort. 4-Drink extra water. A sunburn draws fluid to the skin’s surface and away from the rest of the body. Drinking extra water when you are sunburned helps prevent dehydration. 5-If your skin blisters, allow the blisters to heal. Blistering skin means you have a second-degree sunburn. You should not pop the blisters, as blisters form to help your skin heal and protect you from infection. 6-Take extra care to protect sunburned skin while it heals. Wear clothing that covers your skin when outdoors.
