Something that really helped my husband as he is very fair complected is Mary Kay Soothing Gel. I slathered this on him every day - it is designed to put on your skin after you've been out in the sun. Jim never got any type of blisters or peeled on his neck. I hate the smell of it now, but when we were using it, it had a nice clean smell. He claims that it also helped with him moving his neck so that it wouldn't get stiff. You can do this, Deb...we are all here for you so ask away!

Good Luck!
