Peeling sunburn.. a lot of pain, HELP!?

I never usually peel my sunburn when it starts to peel. But over the weekend I got a really bad sunburn, and noticed last night that my chest was starting to peel. So I didn't peel the whole thing, but it became really sensitive. I have been putting lotion on because all of my sunburn has hit that dry and itchy stage. This morning, i woke up and my chest was still really sensitive, so i rubbed some aloe on it and now it is BURNING! It feels as if someone squirted lighter fluid on my chest and tossed a lit match. Is the pain because the aloe is working and helping heal the sunburn or is it irritated?
