believe it or not aloe is a popular product that's available on all the shelves but there is no evidence that it actually works in helping sunburns. so this is actually a good question. burow's solution is usually used for poison ivy. it helps relieve the itching not necessarily redness or inflammation. so the rule of thumb is if you have sunburn what you want to do is definitely use cool compresses or sit in like a cool tub filled for about 15-20 minutes. you can take things like tylenol or advil to help alleviate any type of pain. but if the sunburn is really bad and you start breaking out in blisters you need to see a medical professional for additional prescription products and also just to be evaluated to make sure you didn't do any additional damage to the skin.
i have tried aloe for sunburn but it doesn't seem to help. can i use burow's solution or aspirin?
