How to treat sun burn blisters?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stay out of the sun: Blisters will naturally pop when the new skin underneath is ready. Just keep the area moist with natural aloe and your body will do the rest.

Second degree burn: Skin that is red and painful and that swells up and blisters may mean that deep skin layers and nerve endings have been damaged (second-degree burn). Apply soothing lotions that contain aloe vera to sunburned areas. Chamomile may help as well.Over the counter- Topical steroids (such as 1% hydrocortisone cream) may also help with sunburn pain and swelling. Do not "pop" the blisters yourself.
