How To Treat Sunburn Blisters On My Shoulder Blades?
I am a 25 year old female, 5'9, 334 lbs and have not had any skin problems or really bad sun burns until this last weekend. I went to lake from 1:30pm to about 4pm and didn't use any sun screen. Stupid me. But I am bright and dark red with blisters around the shoulder blades spreading to both sides of each sholder. I am wanting to take a shower, wash my hair and what do i treat it with. I have been using vingear and solarcaine for the sunburn. The heat is I think almost out of it and the pain from the blisters is what is hurting now I believe. What do I do? What can I do? THanks Melissa
