The picture doesn't do it justice -- I'm in severe pain.

My arms, shoulders, face, ears, feet, upper back, and tops of my legs are toast. Went fishing, and all I caught was this lousy sunburn.

Little blisters are forming; yuck and yikes!

JJ Irani · 26 April 2008, 04:53 AM

OUCH!!

What on Earth does that USMC stand for?

I am very proud of the people that put themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms.

That sunburn looks painful. I have that to look forward to in getting re-acclimated to the bicycle for the season. Take care.

I think we've all been there, that must sting like crazy. I remember getting blisters on my shoulders when I was 13 or 14 and couldn't even put on a shirt it stung so bad

No, it could have been a Red Emporer Fish or a 'Pinkie' (baby snapper).

Look at it this way, after the pain has gone and some of the blisters have popped along with the skin drying, think of the enjoyment you'll have in peeling the layers of dry skin off.

Not to mention, when you rub the dry skin off with the palm of your hand it will look like dandruff when it's all over the floor and furniture.

I have been sunburnt very badly over the years through various water sports and surfing. This was all well before sunscreen came into vogue.

Enjoy that skin peeling too.

I usually don't burn like this. This was my first time "out" this summer, so my "base tan" obviously was a bit too basic.

I'm not too happy right now, needless to say...

Coastal1 · 26 April 2008, 05:25 AM

In New Orleans anything that red is a boiled crawfish! Best of Luck that looks painful.

Thomas · 26 April 2008, 06:47 AM

Shoulda used sun block, that's gonna hurt!

Dan Pierce · 26 April 2008, 06:57 AM

ALOE VERA!

oneillba · 26 April 2008, 07:49 AM

Feel for you, buddy. Get some aloe vera or something RX. I'm sure your Rollie made it through O.K.

The Dude · 29 April 2008, 03:14 AM

Ouch..! That looks painful ...

Peter Messmore · 29 April 2008, 03:42 AM

Did'nt they teach you about sunscreen in basic?

jasonbellevue · 30 April 2008, 03:03 PM

Ouch! I feel for you man.

SSD · 2 May 2008, 10:40 AM

Egads. Just looking at that hurts. Hope you recover quickly!

Rawhyde · 2 May 2008, 12:54 PM

OUCH! I've been there a few times myself too. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Ashley · 2 May 2008, 03:25 PM

Ugh, I hope you feel better soon. Sunburns are the worst. That scares me.. it means summer is fast approaching!

Trev · 2 May 2008, 03:47 PM

Aloe man, just soak everything in Aloe gel, and drink a few beers :)

At least you know your watch provides some good sunscreen.

Need some aloe that has been stored in the refrigerator to help cool the skin. I don't think the aloe helps with the overall sunburn. But man, it sure does feel good.

Ashley · 2 May 2008, 04:15 PM

Vaseline is nice on burns too :) Vaseline is the best for everything.

SPACE-DWELLER · 2 May 2008, 10:14 PM

Caught red handed, were you?

etp095 · 2 May 2008, 10:16 PM

lobster man.

DSJ · 7 May 2008, 12:48 PM

Why I don't wear a watch while tanning - I hate the tan line.

Sorry about your sunburn!

East Bay Rider · 10 May 2008, 11:27 PM

I'll bet your lume is fully charged.

Hope you feel better soon.
