Sunburn Treatment: 5 ways to relieve sunburn. Drink 100% fruit juice or water replace lost fluids. Use cool water/compresses to help your skin feel better. Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain. Only use medicated lotions if your doctor says it is OK. Keep out of the sun until the sunburn is fully healed.
