How long will my sun burn last?
Ok so the sunburn is on my shoulders and it sorta feels like rubber. I scratched it without meaning to,and it started to burn. It looked pink under the skin. I went to the beach saturday and sunday. The burn has slowly went down, but it still hurts. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me. How long will it last?? Also what can I do to help??
If it helps It was the first time I wore a bikini and I have fair skin too.

Cold water will soothe it temporarily. Aloe vera is great for relieving sunburn pain, either straight out of the plant, or in a tube from the local drug store. It's good for the skin as well, and can help prevent peeling. The pain should go away after a couple of days, and may start to peel after about a week.
