The straight aloe helped my dad. He bought aloe juice in bottles from the health food store. No alcohol since it was essentially for drinking, but he would dab it on using cotton balls. He used that and was also able to use a lotion that had some lidocaine or numbing agent in it. It was prescription, but the doc said that some of the after sun sunburn lotions had lidocaine as an ingredient and he could give it a try. I don't know about the alcohol content, but you could ask your doc if it would be safe to try.
