Of course my WalMart was out of the stuff that you mentioned so I got Lanicane sunburn spray. He said that it help a good bit. I gave him some more Tylenol and he went to bed. He was so tired, you could see it in his face.

Thanks for telling me about this spray. I didn't even know that they made something like that. I remember having to rub stuff onto my skin as a kid. I kept thinking that there had to be something better!

All well that ends well!

Tami, I am sorry that they were out of Dermoplast. There were always 2 things I kept in my house besides bandaids and that was Neosporin and Dermoplast. The Dermoplast could cover a larger area of skin AND I didn't have to touch their skin to put it on, so it was good for sunburns. Neosporin Plus also has the numbing ingredient in it, but you just can't cover as large of an area. I still carry the Neosporin Plus in my purse with bandaids. My DGD always asks for Nana's magic stuff if she gets the slightest boo-boo. lol We had to tell her it was magic stuff in order for her to allow us to treat her wound. lol

Before we leave for vacation, I need to get some Dermoplast and more bandaids as I am running low of my Dora and Barbie bandaids. lol

I hope your DS gets to feeling better soon.

If you have an aloe vera pant, take a long leaf and cut top and bottom and rub the gel on the sunburn, it's a bit sticky but dries and takes the itch out of sunburn. Lots of water or Gatorade to drink, stop dehydration.

Sounds like he had such a great time, you know the pressure will be on "when can they come over to my place for a sleep over mum" LOL
I bet as he's so tired he'll sleep for a good portion of the next day.
