Skin Blisters Psoriasis

Treatment for HORRIBLE 2nd degree burns??

I was floating down a river on innertubes with some friends a couple days ago, and now I’m deeeeeeply regretting it (besides the fact that it was fun). I’m naturally REAALLLY fair, and when it was all done I came out all red–on my arms and on the top side of my legs.
My legs are just deep pink, but my are are bubbly. I know it’s second degree, I’ve had this before, but it’s been so long I only remember it was very painful & red.
I’ve used Dermoplast (I couldn’t find any Solarcaine where I went) since last night, and ADVIL since Wednesday (the day of the trip), and I’ve heard to use aloe…I used that before & I don’t know what was in it, but for some reason it hurt like you-know-what (p.s. it might help for you to know that I have psoriasis as well, so that might make a difference in your answer)… what should I do? There’s a BIG blister on my right arm, and my skin is

For the classic sun burn (first degree burn) with redness, slight swelling, and mild pain, home treatment is safe and works well for up to 50% of the body surface. Blistering burns (second degree) can be self-treated in many cases, but should be seen by a physician if:

More than 1% of your skin surface is involved (more than the size of the patient’s palm).
Face, neck, genital area, hands, or feet are involved.
Any child under 12.
Any underlying skin conditions ( such as your psoriasis)

You should never self-treat a full thickness burn, no matter how small. The risk of infection and scarring is too high.
Deeper burns require a lot more. Below is a standard burn dressing/treatment protocol for blistering second degree burns.

Make sure the area of all blistering burns is less than the size of your palm. If larger, see a doctor.
If the blister is intact, leave it alone! The skin underneath the blister is actually healing while the blister protects it from further damage and infection. Use sterile white petrolatum or petroleum jelly and a light gauze wrap to protect it until it bursts on its own (this can take days).

The raw, weeping skin under the blister must be protected after the blister bursts. Use Adaptic (Petrolatum gauze) for the non-stick first layer. Place dry gauze as a second layer to absorb moisture oozing from the raw surface beneath the first layer. .
Change this dressing once or twice daily and wash gently with an anti-bacterial soap. This stops an unwanted thick membrane from forming on the raw burn surface and prevents infection. ( particularly if you have psoriasis or excema)

Anti-inflammatory medication helps control pain, swelling, and redness. They should be dosed around the clock, with longer acting brands preferable since awakening in the middle of the night with burn pain is common with shorter acting medicine.
