Instructions: Bad sunburns developing blisters, and you need to go to Doctor ASAP to avoid scars. If it just painful erythema/redness you can use for example Aloe Vera cream or lotion multiple time a day and Advil (ibuprofen) or Motrin. It take 1-3 days to get better. Drink a lot of fluids as well.
