Sun/wind burn on back of calves/thighs. when i stand, there's a lot of intense pressure around the burned areas. joints also in bad pain. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunburn treatment: Aspirin or Ibuprofen will help with the pain and reduce some of the inflammation caused by this 'radiation' injury-because that's really what a sun burn is. You can also get an aloe plant and squeeze the gel like stuff on the affected areas. Cool showers and oatmeal baths might help as well. Hopefully this is the last sunburn of your life because it can damage skin (wrinkles) and lead 2skin cancer
