How long til my natural skin color comes back around my neck area or heal?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I'm getting ready for church this morning and when I went to look in the mirror I see my neck area almost completely burnt and totally different shade than my natural color when I never noticed it before til this morning.

I noticed my arms getting darker because of the sun I endure while I exercise outdoor 5 times a week but my neck took me by surprise.

generally, it takes 7~10 days if you keep out fo the sun. if you keep running then who knows.
but! there are ways to lighten the skin or remove the thin darker outer layer (you can google them easily). however, it will not fix any skin damage or lower chances for cancer from the exposure.

A light sunburn (like you seem to have in the pictures) usually takes 2-3 days to return to normal skin color. A deeper burn can take a week or more, depending on how light or dark the skin is normally, and how bad the burn is.

Make an appointment with your doctor I would recommend putting creams you could be allergic to the ingredients. I got sunburn and it made a rash on my skin. I advice you go talk to a specialist and have them take a look.

Hmm... Wear sunscreen maybe?
I do even though I have dark skin.
Umm also it just be permanent since your neck is always exposed

They have such a thing called sun-block.

I can't see any pictures of your neck?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The back of my neck?

[EmmaMary]

There are no pictures of your neck whatsoever.

Looks like sun poisoning.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Looks horrible in person. I was shocked when I saw it. Something like this has never happened to me in all my life.

I had that all over my back once from sun burn. Little tiny fluid filled blisters everywhere. It’s was awful.

That’s probably a sunburn it’ll go away

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Does that mean I can't go outside for my daily exercise routine in the sun lest it stays that color?

[Iron_Man]

Just put a good protective suntan lotion on and you won’t get sunburn anymore 30 minutes before you go outside
