Treatment in Sunburn and sun protection
When seriously burned, try to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Diving into open water to cool off won't help with the burn, and your skin will continue to get damage. Beware of infection if your skin is blistering. Take a cool shower (not cold) or a bath. Avoid scrubbing and shaving, use soft towels to dry yourself.
Get a commercially prepared sunburn cream or Aloe Vera to relieve the immediate symptoms.
Get as much rest as you can and drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. And stay out of the sun until your skin has recovered - which can often take a week or so.
