Soreness, Tightness, Swelling In Feet And Ankles, Stayed Out In The Sun. What Can We Do About It?

I did something stupid and stayed out in the sun wayyyyyy to long without protection on my very white legs. This was on Monday. It is now Wednesday evening and although my legs are not as sore and tight as they were, they are still swollen and my feet and ankles seem to be getting more swollen today. What should I do? See a doctor or will my legs get better on their own?
