Treating Severe Sunburn – What Worked for Me Hey everyone, Last summer, I got a severe sunburn on my back and shoulders after spending the entire day at an outdoor festival. It was so painful that I couldn’t even wear a shirt for a few days. After trying a few different remedies, here’s what worked best for me: Aloe Vera Gel: I kept it in the fridge so it was extra cold when applied. It helped soothe the burning sensation. Hydration: I drank a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated from the inside out. Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: I took ibuprofen to help with the pain and reduce inflammation. Moisturizing Lotion: After a few days, when the burn started to peel, I used a gentle, fragrance-free lotion to keep my skin from getting too dry. It took about a week for the worst of it to heal, but these steps definitely helped speed up the recovery. If anyone else has tips for treating a severe sunburn, please share!

Dealing with Chronic Stomach Pain and Medication Hello community, I’ve been dealing with chronic stomach pain for over a year now, and it’s been really tough. The pain is a dull, constant ache that sometimes turns into a sharp, burning sensation.
