sickwilly 37 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Aloe and maybe a really soft undershirt, too. If it's beer league, a couple of beers might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahriman 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 and meds too, take a little Advil/Tylenol cocktail while your at it. though, not the tylenol and beer at the same time, thats bad for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper15 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I hear that this product called "sunscreen" works really well, you should try it out next time you're in the sun for awhile so this doesn't happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Old 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 You may not believe this... but vinegar will ease the pain of a sunburn. Stinks but works wonders, trust me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RecLeagueHero 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Yeah, putting something that's highly acidic on a burn just doesn't sound appealing. That's not to say it doesn't work for all I know, I just get a mental picture of putting something salty on open cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really expected the rub of my shoulder pads to bother it but it didn't happen. That vineagar idea sounds interesting, hopefully I never have to try it.

Archangel#16 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I know that there is this alow vera stuff with lidocaine in it. That feels amazing when you have bad sunburns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Too Old 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Trust me, it sounds absolutely wrong but it does work. I'm not one to usually get sunburned with a more olive-toned skin color (being Italian has it's benefits, lol) but a year ago I got roasted. The vinegar worked wonders. Either white or apple cider are fine to use. I could give a rat's ass about how it smelled giving how bad it hurt at the time, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clark12 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I played with sunburn last week, it wasn't too sore (altho I did wear a loose vest top under my shoulders). Be prepared for you skin to start peeling off afterwards though! sunburn + sweat don't mix too good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 If nothing else take that bottled up pain you'll be getting from the sunburn and unleash it on your opponents, or maybe some goals. ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptjeff 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Best thing you can do is get something that will reduce the abrasion- meaning an undershirt. Get a compression undershirt that fits and won't move around and it'll keep your shoulder pads from rubbing. I always wear one and have played with sunburn before with no problems.

phunky_monkey 6 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Go the undershirt. I play with sunburn in summer league and despite it being tender when the pads go on, once I'm out there it doesn't cross my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lampliter87 8 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 That seems to be true for a lot of minor issues I have... I worry before the game, but once I'm on the ice, they just disappear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
