How long should itching from a sunburn last?



I got sunburnt badly all over my torso and shoulders last friday. Up until last night it was just pain I was dealing with, but when that subsided severe itching has come on.


I have been taking showers and applying aloe lotion to the areas but nothing seems to help. How long should this itching last?

  1. its probably starting to peel.
    which will last around 3 days to a week usually. The itching will probably not last as long tho, maybe just a few days.

  2. Applying lavender essential oil to the area will reduce pain and itching. Check out http://solutionsforsunburn.blogspot.com/ for more details.
