itchy sunburns
anyone else get REALLY itchy from a sunburn?
i went to the beach today and wore sunscreen but still managed to burn. i don't have a rash or any bumps, just a little bit red. the itching usually starts a few hours after my sun exposure (if i burn) and feels like mosquito bites, but won't go away unless i slather lotion on myself. used to happen worse as a kid, but then again i probably wasn't so great about applying and re-applying sunscreen.
if this happens to anyone else, do you have any remedies? thanks! 
man, i totally read that as "itchy SIDEburns". wowo.
anyways ,i've never had problems w/ itchyness. but i'm assuming any kind of aloevera lotion would be good for it.
Aloe, and liberal amounts of it, also moisturizer.
Just be happy you didn't get sunburnt topless.
I burnt my nipples once. Worst pain in the world.
heh i've been dealing with the same thing all day. spent a few hours walking around outside yesterday since it was sooooo gorgeous, and now i've got a sunburn on my shoulders and neck/chest.
i usually just use some aloe lotion to cool it out and keep it moisturized. seems to do the trick.
ALOE!
Anything with or pure aloe itself works wonders C! Last Canada day I got theeeee worst sun burn that I've had in years. It itched so bad that I pealed for about 2 months straight, I also still have tan lined very visible on my back. I used aloe everyday and the itching was kept to a very very minimal.

had my share of them in the past
solution thats worked the best for me?
have a few drinks before you sleep so you won't notice it as much
it shouldn't be strong enough to wake you back up, so if you can get to sleep you should be fine

i know, after i get a bad burn, the rest of the summer is full of nice tanning. haha plus the first time out on the beach after winter, in a bathing suit SUCKSSSSSSSS! i feel like my skin in blinding people.
last year went to hawaii with my family and my sister really wanted to do one of the swimming with sharks things so we found one, and it was fucking dope (just a steel cage in open water, like 20-30 sharks around, and WTF a barracuda swam like a foot from me, small enough to come straight into the cage)
anyways, i was in the water for like an hour, then outside for like an hour and an half after in pure sun plus in open water, then shirtless for the rest of the afternoon
i put sunscreen on before i left, but still
my entire back/shoulders/arms were blistering by that night, couldn't lean back against anything for a couple days, it fucking sucked
but yeah, alcohol helps 
My friend who's really pale got really badly burnt about 2 weeks ago, she's still peeling a bit even after being drowned in about a gallon of Aloe and moisturiser. 
Well her skin is now dead so it's going to peal until all her dead skin is replaced by good healthy skin.
You need this (for any burn, itch, scratch, bite, allergy etc):
Works wonders (keep it in the fridge)

I was outside from 8 AM to 4 PM on Saturday for a track meet... let's just say standing up on Sunday morning was no treat. My knees are SO sunburnt.
the bottom of my neck and the skin over my collarbone is really itchy today... totally awkward place to feel itchy. guh!

honestly, although its going to hurt like a bitch you need to brace through it and take the hottest fucking shower you can for like 10 minutes. after you get out the pain will be much less than it was before you got in.. no jokes.
