I have on multiple occasions received second and third degree burns from the sun and the only relief I have found out that they have been using this ointment for a long time for major burns which relieves and heals the burn without any blisters it is called Noxzema facial cleanser which works amazingly well just apply thick and when it dissipates re-apply and repeat until no pain is felt and don't worry it is safe on fabrics meaning will not stain at all!

I have a sunburn now on my hands and I noticed that my hands swelled up. I have never had a sun burn on my hands before and I have never noticed swelling before. Cold compresses and lots of Advil help. It has been two days and they are still swollen, so obviously it is going to take some time.

I'll chime in. Went kayaking and got a nasty burn from my knees to my feet. I was ok at first but the next morning I couldn't walk from the intense pain. I've missed two days at work so far. I'm currently on day 3. The swelling hasn't decreased but the ibuprofen helps the pain. Every time I stand up it's like I have to learn how to walk all over again. Sometimes I get the shivers. It's super scary. I'll try to post back with my progress, I'm glad I'm not the only one...
I <3 my fellow sunburn victims.

Glad I found this post. I got my back and chest burned, now 3 days ago, and my inner chest was swollen. It was worrying me a little bit. Its comforting to read that this can happen. I only noticed it last night, at the end of the second day since the burn.

Went to the beach Sunday, I am a Floridian but dont visit the beach often, anyway was out for a total of 4 hours-probably only in sun/water for 2 hours. I have NEVER been this burnt and I am from the era of sunbathing with crisco & oils...
I thought Monday was bad. Pain, intense burning when touched by anything, chills, and of course looking like a lobster with very red skin... THEN I started to swell. Holy Moly NEVER ever felt this bad. I first noticed the swelling after I worked 10 hours. I then laid in a cool bath and took advil. It went down BUT after working the next day swelling was back.
Here I am day 4 and its still painful but I was able to sleep last night so i guess its healing?!?! just got to work so not sure if Ill swell again or not. I hope not have plans this weekend to go to Disney and honestly dont know if I can handle the walking 10-12 hours like this... Heres hoping we all heal with no permanent damage.
I am glad to hear other stories, misery loves company... Helps with the anxiety.
Learn my lesson anyhow- beach=bad.

1. Did anyone find something to bring the swelling down?
2. How long did this c**p last? I'm going on day 5.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Good Luck. Im on day 13 of Sunburn city and the swelling has yet to cease in my right leg! At least your doctor cared enough to give you something. I went to the ER due to miserable swelling/pain, etc. I was pretty much laughed at and was told it would get better, when it did! (believe that)..... I have literally lived on my couch (after work) with my feet up and ice bags on them with a whole lot of aloe and cold baths/soaks at night right before i try to go to sleep.. Even over the counter meds did help with swelling so i just stopped taking them and am dealing with it.
