Answers:
vinegar is good. so is aloe vera. I'm not sure how long it will take. Don't bathe in hot water. Not only will it hurt, but it will make things worse.

Other Answers:
The skin that is burned will peel (probably only one or two layers of epidermis). There is no remedy, it is damaged skin that your body will slough off. Wear sunscreen (waterproof) next time and reapply it often.
Alor Vera gel works great. Also, putting milk on it will cause it to turn brown more quickly.

aloe vera and if ur itchy use something called witch hazel..it works P.s pure aloe vera straight from a plant is the best effect.next time use sunblock..DUH
use calamine lotion and your skin will peel until all the burned dead skin is removed.
Apply aloe vera gel as often as you can (put more on every time ur skin sucks it in) and drink water as much as u can. Ur skin is damaged, and that will make u dehydrated. Water will speed up the healing process, and nothing works as well as AVG for fixing sunburn. You will be better very soon, trust me. :) If you don't have aloe vera or cocoa butter, jsut put sunblock on the burn. but aloe vera is the best.

Pure aloe is good but if you don't have that try some canned cream like milnot it takes the burn out and helps keep it from peeling.
Peel a potato and put the slices all over your back (have someone help) The starch in the potato will pull the burn out of your skin--sounds crazy but it will feel a ton better. Do this for a couple days and it will cure you.
