Methotrexate and sunburns

Hello this is my first time on this site. For the first time yesterday I went to a waterpark with my family for birthday. I am on methotrexate and got a mild sunburn. I am concerned because I'm freezing and can't seem to get warm except my face. Any advice?

- I'm not sure what is causing that effect. Whenever I have had a sunburn, I can feel chilled just because my skin is so hot. I would try putting some Aloe Vera gel on to see if it helps?

Sadly metho means an increase in sun sensitivity so I now use SPF50. Hope you feel better soon.
