Well, it's summertime in Florida. It's also concert time.

I went to Warped Tour in Jacksonville and got a hellacious sunburn on my shoulders/back. Now, I've had SO many sunburns before. I live in Florida, lol.. I'm used to it. I have extremely light, sensitive skin and this has to be one of the worst sunburns i've ever gotten.

Not only do I have an awkward burn which will eventually peel and become white again; I gain no color ever) I have blisters from where I put aloe onto my black/shoulders where i'm burnt the worst. I wore shorts ffs, but i'm only burnt on my shoulders and upper back.

Anyway, the point of this is.

I put aloe on my sunburn as soon as I got home at like.. midnight and I woke up with horrible little blisters on the worst burnt areas. Any ideas? I can't really think of anything that would help, but something medicated or something that feels cold would be fantastic

Oh, and my scalp is burned too. Thin asian hair ftl </3

i never really get sunburn.. only thing i can suggest is to use sunblock all the
time when its sunny. thats what helps my cousins through the summer.

and idk about the blisters..

thats what google got me; it has an explanation for the blisters and some tips

good luck <3

Looks like it's gonna be strapless/backless shirts and bras for a while. It's hard for it to not get rubbed/covered/irritated.

Thing is, I was outside from 8am until 11pm, and had SPF 50 sunscreen on all day.

It feels like my body might just start bleeding at random.

Thanks for the link though, i'm gonna take a look<3

One year I was out I toasted my back so bad, it hurt like it was redefining the word pain. Now every time I go out to the beach or something I always use sunblock no matter what lol. I also don't tan well now, even though when I was a kid I was outside so much I tanned fine and my hair turned almost blond.

Get well soon!

I'm so glad I don't burn. Not trying to rub it in Ito . I don't think I've ever had an actual sunburn. Tan FTW.

Ha, whenever I get burned I get blisters.

It's not much, I like to peal them off, though I'm sure that can't be good for it.

That's all I have to say really.

I never use sunblock or any lotions, and I never burn. I just get darker and darker -.-

o_o

That sounds so painful.
And gross.

I went to Walmart (thank buddah for walmart ) and found this stuff called 'Soothe-A-Caine' by Banana Boat. It feels cold as hell and it feels so good T_T
I reccomend it for sunburns, especially something like I have.

Luuuccckkkkyyyy.

I burn all the time, I don't tan very well, but if I use lotion I get a bit darker.

I burn, I feel, and i'm white again. When I do burn, I burn really bad. When I was younger I actually tanned, and got freckles from it -.-;

I stayed out of the sun as much as possible because my freckles are 'cute' and I don't like them. -_-
Now I burn. And die.

I want to see what you look like so bad.

Ignore the very odd soundingness of the above sentence

Anyways I only burn if I don't put on sun screen, or else I tan very easily.

She's a doll.

for sunburns aloe lotion is supposed to help... i never get them anyway so i cant offer much expertise. maybe go get some sandpaper?

Screw that, aloe itself burned and I didn't have blisters until i used it. Ew.

lol

When my sisters go to the nearby beach and get those short term painful sunburns, they use... magnesium milk (not sure if that's the proper translation heh), looks like it's amazing for pain relief an smooth for the skin.

But, it sucks to live in a desert... we have a threatening sun all the year... though in winter it's not so rude, but you always need protection. And it's not a thing that will be gone next day... it's something that may become skin cancer if you expose yourself often (for work, school, etc)

You live in Canada, how hot can it be?

was that a serious question?

now-a-days where I live its getting +35C/95F and its expected to get hotter, in canada the winters may be cold, but the summer is as hot as a mother *bleep*

The same thing happen to me this summer was out at the beach and didnt put sun lotion on my back (yea i no my fault) but my entire back got sunburned so bad it was red for 2 weeks and I couldn't sleep on my back but after about 2 weeks the pain went away. My advice when you start peeling watch where you peel and have a vacuum ready if needed cause i peeled all over my room and man was it gross.
Hope you heal up quick and those blisters sound like no fun.

You stood me up.. you never hopped into Greece unless you got on one of the 5-minute time periods I was offline.

It was worth it for Warped though wasn't it? Circa and Anberlin were awesome

Hells yeah.
I got hugs from Red Jumpsuit's guys and they called me cute.
RJA, Anberlin, Circa, Killswitch Engage, Coheed & Cambria, Yellowcard, Escape The Fate (who i previously didn't like), Scary kids Scaring Kids, Boys Like Girls was okay.. Paramore was good Meh.
RJA = the best. Which date did you go to?

So yeah, it was really worth it

My back is also burned, but its just the skin peeling off xD
You should watch out tho, to much sunburns give skincancer..
Move to alaska

I went to the Atlanta show on the 18th. The main thing that took me there was Coheed, but I liked a lot of the bands that played. I thought Circa and Anberlin were great. Pennywise, Yellowcard, and Jumpsuit were all good too. Totally worth the ticket/drive.

I got Motion City Soundtrack tonight, concert heaven lately

Italian skin FTW

i burn occasionaly but thats only cause i never use sunscreen and stay out all day sometimes

I looked in the mirror today, and not only am I peeling, my skin is fckn purple.

Doctor on monday methinks >.>

Okay, surefire way to get rid of the pain and get rid of redness and such.

Rub vegetable oil all over yourself

xD

No, that sounds so gross. I don't wanna be all shiny and oiled up >.<
