You can use vinegar to reduce some of the sting of the sun burn...also used tea bags can also help take the sting out...

Distilled vinegar...just put it on a wash cloth and gentle apply...I have actually had it so bad...that I stood in the shower and dumped a gallon over my whole body...

Hope this can help

Vinegar always helped my sunburns. I didn't know if it would help a doxy burn. Makes sense though!

Doesn't Doxy usually come with a label warning about sunlight exposure?

Or am I thinking of another antibiotic?
