A member asked:

I have severe burn from a tanning bed is it ok to put baby lotion on it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but Aloe Vera: may give more relief. Also, cold compresses. OK to take oral pain medications. Please commit to avoid tanning beds and using sun protection in the future to lower your risk of skin cancer.
