    Treating sunburn
    My son got sunburned while at the lake this past weekend. His upper lip and chin are blistered, what can I do to help him?

    Hello. Try a soft cloth soaked in vinegar. It will take the burning sensatiion away.

    He says the burn no longer hurts, my main concern is for the blisters over his lip and on his chin

    Going to the doctor would be your best bet. The doctor can prescribe something that will help a lot more than any remedy we can come up with. Remember, if there are blisters, this is a burn. Burns hurt, and can scar, if not treated properly.

    For now try some aloe vera gel. That will soothe and help to heal the area. But the only real option is to see a doctor.
