It was similar to what you’ve shown on the pic except it was my thighs that got sunburned lol it was so bad I couldn’t put even shorts on for a week 😂😂 any contact with fabric was so painful, I was getting chills and all.. if you like your eggs soft I could’ve gotten that done for you 😂😂😂😂
It’s good that it’s getting better. And yep aloe is a game changer, but some yogurt right out the fridge would do wonders to your face especially if it feels hot to the touch, aloe will only make it feel tighter. Mud masks normally exfoliate and dry out the skin so I’d imagine it made it worse..
I got some sunburns when I was younger but nothing real terrible. I pretty much never burn as I've gotten quite tan from being outdoors. I have natural pure platinum blonde (almost white) very shiny hair longer than I am tall and very bright very light blue eyes. It's kind of funny how even the blondest bluest eyed blondes tend to tan quite well and redheads seem completely unable to tan. Especially since blonde hair is lighter than red. Blonde hair is 7-12 on the color scale with 1 being darkest (which would be jet black) and 12 being lightest (pure platinum blonde) and red is 3-7. My hair is very much 12/12 which is the very lightest. Redheads also tend to have darker eyes usually green or brown. While blondes usually have blue sometimes green and natural platinum blondes almost always very bright very light blue eyes. Yet redheads pretty much always have type 1 skin fit those familiar with that scale and burn bad and can't tan while blondes including platinum blondes tan quite well. My skin was probably type 2 when young and now type 3.
I was wearing a romper and was outside from sun up to sun down wearing this thing ! I was burnt so badly wearing it that I had one painful time pulling this romper down just so I could go to the bathroom ! then my nephew comes into the front room , jumps on my lap and I scream like some one stomped on my foot ! my brother in law yells - sunburn - ! then my nieces and nephew come up to me and help me remove all the dead skin I had on me do to this - sunburn - ! I am light complected ( caucasian ) and can not get a tan ! all I do is burn and peel ! I was at this car dealership and my brothers were outside ! I am sitting in this waiting area too ! this woman who was the secretary there says to me - you look like a little china doll sitting ( I was getting over heated too ) - ! for I am so white to do being caucasian ! thanks
No. (That picture is not me.) It happened to me in Acapulco Mexico in 1970. That was bad and they were considering hospitalizing me. It happened again slightly in the summer of 1988.
Omg that looks really bad and I know that must be really painful... Worst I got was at a lake for hours, kept telling my friend I was ready to leave because I knew I was getting burnt, but you can't always tell in direct sunlight... Minute we went to the restroom area, my skin was almost as bad as in your pic... I could barely stand to wear clothes it hurt so bad...

Hurts like something else. Ice packs, aloe, and motrin have helped. Yes, I know what you mean being at the lake. The moment you feel it, it's usually bad already! Yeah, I'm not feeling the clothing right now!
Do you play? I need to sign you up for my 5 a side team... but getting back on topic the worst sun burn I ever got was on a school trip to Greece as an 11 year old... it's also the answer to what was the first nightclub you ever visited... Greece in those days weren't big fans of rules!

I play but just for fun. There's not adult league in my area!
About 12 hours! It was an innocent time where teachers weren't held responsibility for there actions! lol... About 24 hours after this I have an Ouzo story! Where a couple of the teachers brought pupils drinks because there parents had signed a disclaimer allowing them to drink alcohol on a school trip! (it was meant as an excuse for a sixth form pupil (17/18 years of age to have a glass of wine with there meal) but was taken advantage of by a couple of teachers who rthought they'd earn some cool points.
Ouch! For me, it was going whitewater rafting and I decided not to sunscreen because it was an overcast day. I had to go to sleep covered in aloe and had to keep turning because if I sat in one place for too long, it would be too painful.

Man that had to hurt, I know! Yes, the day started out as overcast, chilly, and rainy. Then the clouds opened up and hours later, this was the result.
I got burnt so dark on my shoulders, I was wearing a red shirt and it was darker red than that (I'm white)! It hurt so bad to wear clothing or even move my shoulders. That same day my friend sunburnt her thigh so bad she had to go to the doctors and was prescribed burn cream
I like a little sunburn on the face but I always wear sunblock. My great grandfather died from skin cancer so my dad was always really serious about it.
You don't wanna know some I've had lol. I've had HUGE blisters I've had them so bad. I mean HUGE ones. Really bad. This was when I was a kid, none quite that bad since, but I wish I had pictures lol.
The biggest blister there in that one guy's second degree pic there, mine one time were 3 times that size I'm not kidding. One covered the top of my shoulder.
Had two bad sunburns in my life, one as a young child which gave me a fever and the other as a teenager which lasted for a few days and it hurt like hell for skin to touch.
On a beach in Spain. Very much underestomated the strength of the sun, spent a lot of time at the beach bar chatting and laughing with friends. Next day my ears were blistering, was very unpleasent
