Sunburns

[Slavex]

So, this is the best one I've done yet. 2nd degree burns on entire upper back, shoulders, chest and down my arms to almost the elbow. Neck is ok, ears are ok, face was only slightly burnt, lower back a bit, but not even enough to peel. This is what happens when you put on sunblock with a shirt on, then decide to take off your shirt and go into the water for two hours, oh, and not put sunblock on the parts the shirt covered up. Dumb dumb dumb. Did this on Sunday while down in Jamaica, and not the only one, 4 others did the exact same thing. And yes I am sure the Red Stripes had something to do with it. Never really got too painful, tight and sore/stinging, but not bad. Not until I stuck to the sheets and didn't know it, then rolled over tearing some of my back off. I expect I'll get some neat scars and freckles from this one. Apparently I responded worse due having full on chickenpox back at New Years for 4 weeks. Makes the skin really light sensitive for at least a year I'm told. Whoot. Remember kids, use that sunblock or you'll look like a hog on a spit over a nice open flame.

And yes, I get the "vampire out in the sun" jokes non stop now.

"Now the lepor on who the sore is, his clothes shall be torn and his head bare; and shall cover his mustache, and cry, Unclean! Unclean! He shall be unclean. He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. He is unclean and shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp"
You might want to get that looked at.

Some form of aloe gel will help.

Sorry to hear that! Try drinking something better than Red Stripe next time...;-)

At least you have a good attitude about it.

Go to the doc and get some prescription creme. I got burned along time ago and my skin shedded like I was a snake.

Reminds me of the old Bobs song "I Hate the beach boys":

But when the night falls (I toss and turn til dawn)
And I am dreaming (Sunlight fills my nightmares)
Two girls for every boy (I toss and turn the whole night through)
Why don't they wear something modest (I'm so tired of sunshine)
On the sand in August (Even in the nighttime)
Should be banned
Go away (Winter never comes to this place)
Please let (There's always sunny weather)
Me go where (I've been warm for too long)
Air is cold (Let me go where the air is cold)

Where air is cold (Let me go where the air is cold)
Where air is cold (Let me go where the air is cold)

Let me go away

Again, again, I remember
Again, again, I remember
When I met her, it was raining

A little sunburn (The sun gets brighter every day)
Could give me cancer (The sun gets brighter every day)
Protect my chromosomes (The sun gets brighter every day)
Please keep me free from melanoma (I'm so tired of sunshine)
I'll move to Tacoma (Can't wait for the nighttime)

Sing yahoo
Go away (Winter never comes to this place)
Please let (There's always sunny weather)
Me go where (I've been warm for too long)
Air is cold (Let me go where the air is cold)

OUCH ! BTDT

Aloe is best straight from the plant for burns. Old blacksmith trick, break the leaf off, crush it and rub the juice on.

Been there, done that, and felt like I was covered in dried Elmer's Glue.
