Sunburn
-
Any slightest movement makes my skin feel very sore.
Thought I was the brightest spark to have gone swimming in the early afternoon today.
And after that, a reflection of myself in the mirror shows a red panther with terrible sunburn.
I tried to sleep so i won't the burning sensation in my body but can't sleep.
Anyone experienced this before? How long will it takes to heal?

2 fcuking weeks.
-
of course..
use Vitamin E gel and aloe vera gel to cool.. there are some which contain both... use that for relief... -
2~3 days the burning sensation will go off like 70% liao.
But still will have the mark.
Then after a few more days, you can slowly pluck out and play with your dead skin.
I rmb last time in class, the bball guys in my class whole day pluck their skin.
Ask people help them pluck also -
Haiz I also got sunburn last week when I was in Taiwan. On an offshore island to near TaiDong to be exact. Feaking hot in the day time. and I forgot to put sunblock.
I was wearing scandal that day. At the end of the day when I saw my feet, I was a bit shocked. 2 very different colours. 1 light 1 dark. haiz... -
get lotsa rest
drink more water
will heal faster..
yes keep skin moisturized -
If you carry on like that, you're gonna get cancer of the skin.

Thanks everyone.
I have totally forgotten about the consequences of the exposure to the strong sunlight.
I was just so stupid. Now my body is so warm! -
Swim with those fishes that nibbles dead skin off your body.

well, too late to do anything other than damage control.. keep moist.. try using the gel and cold creams too.. they seem to help cool you...

To prevent another sunburn, can i use the sunblock that is for skiing for swimming?

Cancer come in two forms, one is genetic, cannot be blame, the other is our lifestyle, the way we eat and drink, take care of ourselves and our stress control.
The later will only occur if we keep practicing the same unhealthy lifestyle and refuse to change, the like of late nite sleep, exposing to sun too often, eating junk foods, drinking and smoking..etc etc. In long term, somewhere and something is going to give way, and that will be an organ or a system failure in your system that cannot be reverse, then cancer is born.
Sunlight can also cause eyes cancer, cataract, partial blindness and discomfort. The like of caucasian peoples with blue eyes is nice to look at, but actually these kind of eyes is the least protected, they do not have the pigment such as our asiatic brown and black eye pigment to protect their eyes, that is why they use to wear sunglasses or squint their eyes in hot sunlight. Same goes to their skin.
