Topical treatment: Aloe Vera, vitamin C, and topical mild corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone will relieve redness, heat, inflammation locally, and allow for healing. Topical pain relief preparations in spray, gel, or lotion form can temporary offer some degree of pain relief if the burn is second-degree or less, but if the damage is partial or full thickness, you need a doctor to assess and treat this properly

Nice: Luke warm. Cool shower. Use moisturizer to the area. Drink extra water. Easy to lose significant water when you have severe burns. Then ibuprofen to help with the pain.

Anti-inflammatories: Try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like Advil (ibuprofen) or Motrin, it will help with the pain. Cool compresses might help as well. Choose a moisturizer without fragrance such as Eucerin cream and most importantly stay out of the sun until you heal. In the future apply sunscreen liberally and frequently.

Ibuprofen.: Ouch! Stay cool and wear loose clothes. Ibuprofen can help, if you can take it. The worst pain is in the first 12 hours and it is painful! Watch the salt and elevate your legs. Sunscreen is your new best friend, i bet! Drink plenty of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic,no- cal fluids .if you have fever, nausea, or vomiting you could have other heat related injuries & head to the ER or call MD

Mostly supportive: At this point, it's mostly management of the symptoms. You can try cool compresses, calamine lotion, or aloe vera-based gels for some relief of pain and discomfort. If you have no reason why you can't tolerate anti-inflammatories(as in allergies, bleeding issues or kidney issues), you could consider a trial of ibuprofen for further pain relief, dosed as directed on the bottle. Good luck.
