How can I soothe my sunburned shoulder so that I can play softball?

We had a softball tournament over the weekend, and, silly, I forgot sunscreen! I'm sunburned all over, but my shoulders are the worst. I get tears in my eyes when I lift my arm up, it hurts terribly. I'm a softball pitcher, so I must be able to do the softball windup, by performing a circle with my arm. It hurts to even attempt to do this, how can I soothe my sunburn?|||Use Aloe Vera Gel, it cools and helps healing. Keep it in the fridge and apply often! Always wear sunscreen even if you are wearing a shirt!|||Aloe vera and lotion!loose fitting shirt so it won't rub! Keep your shoulder out of the sun!

|||There is this skin cream called Palmers Cocoa Butter and it works really well for any type of skin problem. My brother has really cracked feet and the cocoa butter helped them heal. I use it as a moisturizer but it also helps to soothe sunburn. Ususally you can buy it at your local Target.|||Freeze aloe vera in the freezer. Once it gets cold, take it out and rub it on your sunburn. Another way to soothe your sunburn is to pour vinegar on your sunburn. Hope this helps.|||I am a pitcher too and once came across this. i normally dont burn but when i did..





take a cold bath or shower or use a rag with cold ice water and put it on it; take painkillers, try a numbing cream, wear a verry light shirt over it so it doesnt sunburn again; try aloe of course;





goodluck and remember to hit your corners haha.|||ok i am a pitcher to what i did was put normal aloe thenlet it dry hold ice on it then start doing your normal pitching wind up in the house to get used to it then before the big game put a little lotion on it helps loosen it up! Hope i helped good luck at the big game!|||That happened to me once. Just keep applying aloe vera gel, and keep trying to move your arms so that you'll eventually be able to do the wind up. You'll be fine in a couple days.|||this is gonna sound gross but I swear it works, i've done it for years. Mix Noxzema and hemorrhoid cream together. the combination takes out the burn and relieves your pain.
