Question:
Answers:
This is NOT normal! Go to the doctor immediately!
If you ever have a sunburn again, please follow these steps:
First of all, you need to take some Ibuprofin (if you're not allergic to it). It will help reduce the swelling and pain.
Second, take a very cool to cold bath--this will help reduce the damage that the burn did to your skin. It will also help with the swelling, pain, and redness. If you can't take a bath, get some ice and rub it on the burned areas.
Third, drink plenty of clear fluids and make sure you're keeping hydrated.
If you have blisters, do NOT pop them. This will not only hurt, but it can leave bad scars. Blisters mean you have at least second degree burns. Not good!
If you have a lot of blisters, especially if you have a fever or the blisters have pus in them, you need to immediately go to the doctor. You probably have sun poisoning. This is very dangerous and can make you very sick.
If your skin is peeling, do not "help" it along...don't peel your skin. That also can cause very bad scarring (I have a big scar on my nose from peeling it as a kid when I had a sunburn--I'm now 35 and the scar is still there!).

for some people it is normal.
Depends on what type of rash you got. You should see your doctor.
Hurt = yes. Rash = ? Are you taking anything? Call the doctor.
Pain and rash may be signs of cellulitis.Seek medical treatment
It is normal. Put some aloe vera on it. Try not to wear a shirt or anything on it. You might blister.
Normal, but bad.
It'll probably get inflamed and blister a bit.
DO NOT burst the blisters.
(I was tanning on a cruise, got fried, and blistered, but my tank tops caused the blisters to break=scars)
Put some calamine lotion if its itching, and aloe if it hurts to keep it moisturized so it can heal faster.
It depends!! How bad is the rash?
You need some aloe big time.
yes it is mother natures way of telling you to use sunscreen next time....
You wanted the TAN well you got it so why sit here and ask silly questions when you've been through this a THOUSAND times to get to be my color
Atleast you did'nt fall asleap 4 a hour and got a bad sunburn.
it normal but put on sunscreen next time if you dont want skin cancer.
Your rash can just be heat rash. It happens. Noxema is very soothing to the skin. Hope you feel better soon. Be careful of being out in the sun when it is too hot, you can get sun stroke.
I fell asleep outside once for a couple hours. I got the worst sunburn I ever had. While I did not get a rash, when the skin started to heal it began to itch quite terribly. I ended up in the emergency room with the doctor telling me I was lucky I didn't go into shock.
See a doctor right away before the rash (probably heat rash and treatable) and skin starts to heal.
The rash is probably sun poisoning.Talk to your pharmacist.He can tell you what you need to put on it.
In some cases it is normal. You probably don't have to go to the doctor but, you should go to the drug store and get some cream or something.
Is it a rash or blisters? Severe sunburn will often blister. Those blisters will eventually break and you will start to peel. A lotion with aloe (or Noxema skin cream) will help relieve some of the pain for the sunburn while the blisters are still closed. Once the blisters break, be careful what you put on them. Cold packs will also help relieve the pain of a sunburn. Be more careful.
No.Go see a Dr.Also,have you soaked in an aloe bath,or a bath with vinegar? That would take the sting and pain out...but then you need to put lotion on the burned skin after..like aloe,or some other moistureizer.Have you had someone rub your back with lotion? Question? Is it a real rash or just a raised series of bumps that weep? If that is what it is then it is normal...but you stayed way too long in the sun...and I would cover up your back and stay out of the sun from now on,any new sun on that area will just make it worse and not allow it to heal.Good luck.
