How To Treat Sunburn On Legs That Looks Like Red Spot And Cause Pain?

I got a sun burn 5 days ago on my legs and there is a spot that is still very red and hurts. It doesn t look like it blistered but it doesn t seam to be healing. I have been put Alvera gel and hand lotion and the skin doesn t seem to appear to be able to absorb the lotion or gel. Is there something I can to to help it heal?
