Sun Burned Scalp.

Avoiding sun burn and treating it.
Best way to avoid sun burn from happening to your scalp is to wear a hat and to avoid the sun. There are times when this is not possible or one just does not like to wear hats, than an SPF cream is the next best thing. If one is at the beach , golfing or anywhere under the sun anytime between 11 AM and 4PM than a cream with spf40 is best. For everyday sun exposure than an spf 15 is fine.
Its good to be aware that some products used to style the hair may contribute to scalp burning due to alcohol. Oil or some other ingredient.
Once you have a burned scalp the best treatment is a rub with Aloe Vera. If your scalp is burned with sores than a doctor is advisable.
If the scalp is sun burned be careful when shaving the head, it may irritate and in some cases infection can occur.
