She was kept in the shade the whole time we were out side. She now has blisters on her face. What can I do? She doesn't seem to be in pain and is drink fluids like normal. There is no swelling and some redness. Any advice? Hi I have a 7 week old baby that got sun on her face. She was kept in the shade the whole time we were out side. She now has blisters on her face.

Two of the active ingredients are menthol (2.6%), camphor (4.8%)which are commonly found in sunburn meds and itch cream stuff. So it does make sense. My 4 year old is very light skinned and looked like a lobster yesterday after 2 hours at the week. I put the Vicks on last night and this morning most of the redness is gone and so far nothing looks like it's going to peel. =) Oddly enough the vaper rub is awesome.

I have tried "Aloe" everything - the green gels, lotions, and even taking an aloe vera plant and rubbing its goo right on me. NOTHING works as well as the Made from Earth PURE ALOE FACE TREATMENT (from the Made from Earth skin care line). When I sunburn, I tend to blister and the Made from Earth Aloe Treatment makes it so I don't even peel - it keeps my tan (which I wanted to get), but moisturizes so well that I don't have to worry about all of the ugly peeling!!! My family went to the lake this week and because everyone loved this lotion so much, they used up my entire bottle - well, I guess that means its time to stock up!! :) Take my word for it, this is AMAZING!!!

He was in agony and I felt terrible. I had no idea this was a common reaction until I read about it on this website. Try doing a spot test before spraying a larger area.

I have no idea how or why this works, but the practice is commonly used in Austria, where my parents and grandparents are from. I can tell you that as a fair-skinned, blonde child, I got plenty of sunburns and this worked like a charm. Just lay in the bath for about 1/2 hour and then wash off, gently, with a moisturizing body wash and your skin won't smell at all. Treatment can be twice daily depending on the severity of the burn. Try it and let me know. Dr. Benabio, can you provide some insight??

However, I hate paying the high price of Aveeno oatmeal powder! You can get excellent results with regular oatmeal. I cook a big pot, adding 4 times the usual amount of water. Then my husband holds the strainer while I pour it in the bath water. Alternatively, you can tie up oatmeal in cheesecloth, but you don't dont the same concentration as the cooking method.
