i got sunburned last weekend. I even thought to put on sunburn lotion but i only put on easily burned places like face, ears, shoulders. so i have splotchy burn line between there and my arms and my chest and back. oops.
it will heal, with some time. keep it moisturized, use aloe and asparin if you need it. the skin will be weird for a bit, since it causes lots of inflammation.
cancer isn't really about burns as much as total UV. and anyway, for most people the extra vitamin D means less cancer and this more than offsets the risk from the uv. i think the main risk from burning is in childhood.
