I poked around the Web--refdesk.com took me to Medline and the Mayo Clinic--and then my medicine cabinet, and have applied an aloe vera sunburn gel to my leg, with some hesitation: the packaging said not to use if there was blistering, but the Mayo Clinic specifically suggests aloe vera gel for this situation. Since the product is marketed/labeled for sunburns, I suspect that the message is "if your sunburn is bad enough to blister, seek medical help".

The blister is small, and I really don't want to deal with an emergency room on a Sunday night. Depending on what [livejournal.com profile] cattitude says when he says this, on how I feel by morning, and on any comments I get, I may go to my doctor tomorrow. I've also taken two aspirin.
