Sherry, solarcaine, cortaid and I believe benedryl makes a burn creme. Unfortunately burns hurt like you know what and there really isn't a lot you can do except wait it out. Take some aspirin or even an anti-inflammatory like Tylonol to help with the pain. It should feel better tomorrow. Poor sherry, hope you feel better soon.
