Phillip’s Stool Softener will help more than lotion or aloe for relieving the heat and sting. it has a high Milk of Magnesia content. When I had sun poisoning and a burn so severe that when I spoke my cheek was stiff enough to pull my eyelid down half an inch….that’s what the ER Doctor suggested.
I spent five days in debilitating pain, but you slather that stuff on, and you’re golden.
And it isn’t sticky, but it will leave a white powdery residue, which is helpful for keeping anything from catching on your skin and preventing friction, so I suggest it for at night or when you’re at home. Of the two you mentioned, aloe gel doesn’t have the same amount of chemicals as lotion, and I’ve always found with lotion the sting came from there and it left me feeling sticky, which is not something you want when you’re toasty.
