What does Sun Burn feel like?

Question

RedThread · Accepted Answer

Okay I think I'm qualified to answer this question. You see how pale I am in my picture? Yeah well I go full on lobster after 10 minutes in the sun without proper suntan lotion. I've actually gotten so sunburned that my arms were purple. I was so terrified that I was gonna get skin cancer or something.. Anyway when it was that bad I couldn't even be in the sun because it hurt. That was back when I was stubborn about applying suntan lotion. It really just feels like you're submerged in uncomfortably hot water in that location.

I'm so jealous of people that can tan.. :(

Just red and hot and painful, skin hot to the touch and burning, then a whole lot of it start to peel, followed by itchiness a while later. It's not such a big deal, but kind of annoying, and it stings when you change clothes.

Hot to the touch, and painful. It feels like a burn. I've had two really bad burns where I couldn't stand up straight because the skin gets tight (blood flows to it to heal) and the skin was burned and tight so it was EXTREMELY painful to stand / sit. I had sun poisoning too I believe and was nauseous as well. It's absolutely horrible. It peels, flakes off, and gets really itchy when finally healed. Just very tender and painful.

like the force of a thousand suns plus satans fury all concentrated in one spot on your body.

it hurts like hell... literally. it just burns really badly. I tend to get it on my shoulders - bra and shirt straps feel like a knife cutting through my skin.

That depends on how badly you get burnt. I've only been burnt badly a couple of times where it hurt to move. I try to apply aloe to any sunburn, though. It cools it down and helps moisturize the skin.

Anyone can get sunburnt even black people (Google it if you don't believe). Stay out on the water in the blazing sun jetting around in your bathing suit and you'll feel it later that day or the following one.

meatballs21 · Answer

Your skin is painful to the touch. It itches but you can't scratch it. Wear clothes over it and you feel every fibre. Sometimes it just feels 'hot'.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

It literally burns. It hurts to touch it. A shower felt like torture. It's not fun at all.

Anonymous · Answer

Painful and warm. The burnt area is very sensitive and bed sheets or clothes can feel like sandpaper.

takumii · Answer

Burns, if touched.. Even when cloth rubs over it. Worst thing ever :- have sunburn and itch at the same time.

tolmbyy · Answer

Hurts a shitload. However, the best feeling i've ever felt is applying fridge cooled aloe vera to a really bad burn.
