Is this normal?

So last summer when i went to Six Flags...stupid me didn't put sun block on and it was hot as hell that day. I was in the sun for about 10 hours and got sun burned pretty bad (durh). I had tiny little blisters all over on my chest/back/shoulders, it was HORRIBLE. :|

Now ever since then.. If i get warm/hot...i get these pinkish/red blotches on my skin where i was sun burned..

It's ugly and i hate it... It doesn't get AS bad as it use too but I still get it.

Is that what normally happens though when someone is sun burned?

I am not sure but I am sure that is really painful! Use pure aloe vera gel on it. Or take a bath with vinegar or yogurt.

Hmmmm......Maybe you have just developed an intolerance to the heat. Since that area was damaged it could be more sensitive now to heat/sun. Where is a dermatologist when we need one.

That sounds pretty good...

I didn't go to a doctor or anything because I don't have insurance.

You have beautiful skin Patricia. I would try sunscreen for sensitive skin and see if that helps. It won't cut down on heat but at least it's winter for now. Maybe your skin will have "healed" totally by then.

Aw, Thanks.

Well It's been a year and it doesn't get as bad as it use to...So maybe it'll 'heal' some more as time progresses.

maybe aloe vera gel will help?

poor you, that sounds like pretty bad burning! it does sound as if it's fading though

even tho its winter, you still gotta protect your skin.

especially if u live somewhere that there is snow.

and the little bumps are heat blisters [kinda obvious]

and its just your body reacting and warning u.
