Got an aloe gel, and my skin drank it all in under a minute, and it actually brought a little relief. I just hope it doesn't contain anything bad for baby, especially with the way my skin soaked it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-185468 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 09:43:49 +0000 Weagle 185468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aloe and apply washcloths soaked in milk... you could probably water down the milk a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-185463 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 09:41:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 185463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always go with aloe and nothing is better than cold cucumbers on a face burn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-185423 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 09:20:13 +0000 TubeAlloy 185423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aloe!

It's cooling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-185090 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:54:45 +0000 cyneswith 185090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mustard works well on the 1st degree area. Not so much on the blistered area. Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-184883 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:08:47 +0000 eeh 184883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aloe, mustard, or windex. I'm not sure I'd go the windex route pregnant but it really is amazing how it will take the sting right out. Also, take the hottest bath/shower you can stand (while still being safe for baby). The hotter the more it will take the sting out. And mustard is just all around good for burns although I typically use it more for a small burn from a curling iron or something instead of smearing it all over my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-184882 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:08:03 +0000 MamaMoose 184882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the aloe suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-184877 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:03:46 +0000 chopsuey 184877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try aloe or cucumbers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunburn-treatment#post-184874 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:02:54 +0000 cyneswith 184874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my sunburn from yesterday has gotten a bit blistery (this is a standard sunburn for me - thus I refer to the sun as "evil day star.") Anyone have any idea of good treatments for it? Apparently, most OTC things have lanocaine, which is bad for pregnancy. I tried a vinegar bath last night, but the relief doesn't last long with blisters. The mayo and gauze treatment... ew, just ew. Tried using some oil for damaged skin, but it just stung... Anyone got any ideas? Is there anything I need to watch out for in regards to LO? I get fevers/chills and nausea with sunburn (not to bad right now.) </p>
