Yeah, I know how that is. I suck at putting on sunscreen, but I always remember to do the tops of my feet after getting nasty burns a few years ago. Try some Solarcaine or aloe.

Ouch. Any chance you can use the cycling sandals and still commute?

Grandma's advice for sunburns: apply Magnesia Milk over it.

HTH,

Another remedy- We use Aloe vera gel (a Banana Boat product- my son calls it "green cream") to treat sunburns. I won't guarantee perfect results, but it sure feels good going on. I started using it back in my young and foolish days, when I was a surveyor and would stand out in the sun for 10 hours a day without a shirt on.

Yes, I now see the dermo every year to screen or melanomas.

In any case, it really seems to help, and smells pretty good to boot.
