I don't know why they itch exactly, part of the healing process most likely.
I do have a few tips to relieve the itch however:
A couple days ago I got a moderate sunburn, it wasn't particularly bad, no peeling or blistering. However, after a few days it all of a sudden began to itch EXTREMELY bad. I had eczema as a child so I have a fairly high itch tolerance, but this itch made me feel insane and I would have pulled my hair out it I wasn't too busy slathering my burn with lotion and pure aloe. Neither seemed to help as soon as I released. Here is what did work:
Aveeno Anti-Itch concentrated cream that is for use on chicken pox, poison oak and poison ivy -- I'm sure other poison ivy/oak anti-itch creams would work similarly well. I took a breif cool shower to wash off the lotion and aloe and then slathered a thick layer of the itch cream on top. It worked like magic. Within 5 minutes I went from feeling like I needed to go to the emergency room to feeling okay enough to try to sleep.
Key point
AVEENO POISON OAK AND POISON IVY ANTI-ITCH CREAM WORKS TO RELIEVE SEVERE SUNBURN ITCH!!
Hope this helps :)

∙ 15y agoYour skin gets cancer when a mutigen (UVa/UVb etc) alters the genetic code/strand of DNA. When the cell reproduces, it passes on that alteration, and time after time of reproduction, a mass of mutated cells will develope.
