You could just place a nice dressing over the affected areas so that the friction of clothing wouldn't being happening. A dressing doesn't move like a shirt would.

Liquid Aloe Vera. W-mart sells it in a gallon jug, in the pharmacy section. I put some in a spray bottle, and spray mist my skin as needed. It is cooling and soothing, and promotes healing.

Ohhhhhh, the sunburn is feeling so much better. A good Aloe Vera gel was the winner. It stopped being so painful, and went to itching, pretty quickly. Then the peeling started right after. It LOOKS terrible! But I can wear shirts again. :D Still no bra, but it's getting there. At least with a shirt i can cover the peeling.

It's been an awfully painful week with that. I've never sunburned so badly before. I'll be much more careful to not forget the sunscreen next time! I brought it with me on the trip, but neglected to put it in my beach bag that one day. Of all the stupid things to forget! A painful lesson.

GROAN!
And that's why I'm under the chair. I expected someone to want to do this. :smack
What, and break my wrist? Chairs are HARD, girl! They need a kicking smiley, then I'll tackle the chairs and those who hide under them! :p
