    So we went to the beach sunday for memorial weekend..

    BAD IDEA! i hate the beach... i hate the sand, i hate too much sun, and i hate the cold water.

    Well everyone wanted to go so i went anyway. Great now i have had the worst sunburn i have ever had! My shoulders are still beet red 5 days later and i have blisters all over my shoulders.. some small, some huge. Everyone else is peeling and i am in so much pain still... I wrote a email to my doctor she said i have a really bad burn, if the blisters pop and get infected go to see her... but meanwhile just use aloevera & asprin.

    Have you ever blistered from a sunburn?

    I think you need to go to a doctor and get some steriods to help it heal.

    I haven't blistered, but I have been burnt almost to the point of blistering and found that Burt's Bees After Sun Soother really helps.  It seems to take the heat and stinging out of it...maybe you could try it?

    i am going to try that burt bee's.. I have bought so many products in the last couple days... I found this first aid spray for sunbrns that has lidocane ahhh its so soothing but still can't sleep on my back.

    This sucks! now i am going to have a worst tanline.. I think spray tan for the wedding.

    My skin is way too sensitive

    Hopefully it works for you too!  I have tried sooo many things like the lidocane sprays, aloe, vinegar, cool baths and nothing seemed to help as much as that.  Since you are blistering it might not soothe it as quick as it did for me, but it should definitely help...many other products contain alcohol and dry out the burn even more but not Burt's!  I think I got mine at Target but I have also seen it at some Walgreens.
