if you don't have any run out now and get some, just 100% allow or you can get the stuff with lidocaine in it too. Apply generously. You will heal up in a matter of days if you use aloe. I use it for all burns, works like a charm.

The one I bought was like a white cream with aloe
where they sell burn ointments or bug bite ointments. He's probably freaked out by the way it looks as well as the sting. Once it pops though, it will just be water that comes out, but then it will look red. Try putting the ointment on the gauze instead. Then, put the gauze over the blister and tape it down. You could probably get away with a Band-Aid, but the Band-Aid might irritate his sunburn.
Help with aloe plant I inherited, not by choice!! sm
I inherited an aloe plant - suckered into taking it is more like it. What kind of light does it want/need. Does it get watered as I do the cactus or more often since I assume it is a succulent. It has 12-inch long leaves or whatever they are that are starting to wilt down instead of standing up. I live in northern MN so don't have real hot sun. Right now it is in a south window and gets direct sunlight about 1-1/2 hours per day.
Any plant medics out there? Appreciate your help.
