Depending on how bad it is, do this at least once a day for the first couple days. This will draw the "burn" out and it will heal quicker and avoid what you are going though now. Whatever you do, avoid aloe for a minimum of 24 hours after you get burned. During that time frame aloe actually has the opposite effect of what is intended, it keeps the burn in and slows down the healing process.
In your stage though, your body has begun healing. Just take a long HOT shower (as hot as you can stand it) and get your pours opened up. I wouldn't bother with the baking soda and vinegar now, these are things you should have done right after you got burnt.

I agree completely. I got very burned once in high school. I was blistered slightly, and my father picked me up and dropped me in the hot tub. After cursing for 10 minutes and writhing in pain, my itching and pain went away by the next day. Since then, I have used this on the very rare occasion I get burned and with my kids. It has always worked.
BTW... It sucks being of Lithuanian decent with almost ghost white skin. Just reading this thread is probably going to turn me pink.
