Sunburn: Tender, aching or throbbing skin can happen as the burn further develops for the following 1-3 days. Take several cool baths for 10 minutes at a time. Ensure water is not so cold as to induce a chill. Adding baking soda to bathwater may improve symptoms; approximately 4 tablespoons (55g) for a full bathtub. Drink plenty of water.

Sunburn: The burn and skin inflammation can create this type of crawling sensation . Moisturize and soothe the skin with topical anesthetics like "solarcaine". Tannic acid from tea bags can be soothing.
