Get some Aloe Vera stuff and whack it on, plus calamine lotion will help (looks like that might be what you have on your face in the pictures). I've found that both of the above are very good at soothing sunburn and I'm known for getting very burnt at the meresight sniff of the sun coming out (currently have semi-burnt arms, burnt neck and face is going red 
Didn't think to put sunblock on this morning when I went to meet the boss in the local Cafe, so am paying the price 
Wasn't overly sunny either, typical )

Surprised the hospital didn't give you a prescription for diprobase, which is rather good, used it when I have a flare-up of eczema and it moisturizes rather well.
I'm trying to think what I used to take when I had severe itching from eczema, fairly sure it was some prescription based anti-histamine thing. From what I recall, most anti allergy/hayfever stuff are just a/h's so you could try any of those.
The one thing, silly as it might sound, is DO NOT SCRATCH. I know it's bloody hard not too (used to have fairly bad eczema when I was a kid, so I know all about being told not to scratch, when all you want to do is scratch).
One other tip, wet a flannel and stick in on your head to cool you down, far less painful than sticking your head under a shower.

Piriton, that rings a bell. I know when I was taking my mock GCSE's I was prescribed something, which I think was Piriton, and it made me very drowsy indeed, so much so I couldn't sit the mocks as I started to fall asleep Seem to recall they were small pink pills, could be wrong though, was a fair few years ago.
Clarityn also rings a bell as something I took for hayfever, so that could be the aforementioned a/h thing I was thinking off.
Just you wait until that skin starts to peel, you're going to look really odd You might be lucky and be able to pull it off in a single sheet type thing, if so, you could go and scare people by seemingly ripping off your face
