What Is The Treatment For Sunburn?
I had severe sunburn a fortnight ago. The peeling has finished but now my skin feels on fire, with shooting pain and constantly itchy. I've tried lanacane cream and benadryl anti-histamine tablets to no relief. How long will this last and what can I get to help me through... It's driving me insane
