This is so off the topic of type.

I sunburnt my ears really badly while sailing on Saturday and I noticed they have began to blister. Does anyone have any tips on treating these? I’m already applying vitamin e gel every few hours.

You can refrigerate the gel to provide a momentary cooling sensation when it is applied. Apply the gel thickly and frequently to provide maximum comfort.

Fresh Aloe Vera sap/juice is great for this. It’ll cool it down and heal the burn as well. I’ve never heard of anyone being allergic, but might be best to do a small test on your wrist first... good luck

I would probably mix some topical aloe vera with some cortisone cream, and augment it with a codeine pill. I always keep my prescriptions for misc. things like that. I am a baby when it comes to pain.
