Blisters from sunburn.

I posted yesterday about what to do about sunburn. I tried what I was told but I still ended up with blisters. I honestly don't know what to do. No fever or anything. Maybe a few chills but I'm pretty sure it's pretty normal.  Should I call my doctor or keep applying aloe?

Witch hazel!!! I just had a terrible sunburn all over my body a few weeks ago. Rub witch hazel on it and you'll feel much, much better!!

You shouldn't pop the blisters yourself, let them pop on their own. When they open you are at higher risk for infection. Keep with aloe and cool compresses. Feeling chilled is normal with sunburn but if you are concerned with fever check your temp.

I would give it another day or so. Keep applying aloe, and I've also heard cold showers can help. And depending on where the blisters are you could apply a cold wash cloth on them. Stay hydrated for sure. I've also read you can drain the blisters but if you do that just be careful about the loose skin and keep it cleaned so it won't get infected.
