It depends where the sunburn is and how big it is. First degree burns might only take three days but it could take as long as 2 weeks.

I don't know of a way to get rid of a sunburn overnight, but I have found that regularly applying cool or cold wash cloth compresses draws the heat out and can limit the redness. I recommend alternating compresses and blue aloe vera gel. Do it continuously for as long as you can! And ibprofen for the pain. :(

Is it safe to get go to the pool after being sunburn?

if you already have a sunburn, then adding sunscreen is like checking on your burgers after their already burnt!

What are the long term effects of sunburn?

From the Related Link: "Burns are classified in three degrees. A first-degree sunburn reddens the skin. A second-degree sunburn causes reddening of the skin with some water blisters. A third-degree sunburn requires the immediate care of a doctor and causes lower cell damage and the release of fluid, resulting in eruptions and breaks in the skin where bacteria and infection can enter."
