Yes, it's "gone". I had it cut out. And thankfully, it had not spread.It is a cancer that loves to metastasize (spelling?) meaning attach itself to other organs. It can also do this very fast. The hand, head and foot melanomas, from what I learned, are the most dangerous.
But I never, ever get too cocky about it. I am extremely respectful of any type of cancer now.

I did that to myself once with that very same line of thinking, however, in my case it was late in the afternoon (at least after 4pm, if not 5pm). I figured there was NO way I was going to get any color, let alone burn.
Well, I got on this boogie board & I was floating about on the ocean's water (did I mention I was wearing a "thong" suit?) & I ended up with one nasty burn on my a$$ (not to mention pretty much all over the backside of my body). It hurt the worst (and of course, I was burned in these places the worst) on my butt & and the back of my knees. Ouch!

Oh, I so feel your pain! I've done the same thing and when I started to peel on my back, I was asking family, friends and even total strangers to PLEASE just give me a little scratch on my back. (Yes, I made many new friends this way. LOL) It drove me crazy. Just stay out of the sun and keep it moist with aloe or unscented moisturizer. Even after the redness and hurt are gone, still keep covered for a couple of weeks. Your skin will be especially sensitive and prone to burn.

Just be thankful you figured it out now. I've used sunscreen for most of my life, but I never really got just how important it is until I visited my first dermatologist after moving to Michigan. The waiting room was literally full of elderly people with skin cancer. These were people who never suntanned who had lived in a state not known for sunshine. Since I grew up on the gulf coast and had a perpetual tan until I was 40, I figure it's just a question of when, not if, I'll have a skin cancer. I wish I had been taught to take care of my skin at least half as well as my teeth.

Ouch!
Hmm, I've had worse than that. I'm very very pale, only had to get burnt once when I was little to wake up and realise that sunscreen is so not overrated. I'm sorry, but I just don't have any sympathy any more for people who get burnt -every one knows they should be wearing sunscreen.

That looks painful, are you putting anything on to help the healing?
I hear putting on sunscreen after a burn can help reverse the sun damage, I've done it in the past and it definitely help sooth the blistering skin. Have you tried that?

Owwww...hon that looks like it hurt! I had that happen to me two years ago. I went to a Nascar race with my dad and uncle, and I thought "My legs need a little bit of sun" so I had just my legs out in the sun while the rest of my body was in the shade...and within an hour they were darker than your back. I got sun poisoning from it and my feet swelled up sooo bad I could hardly walk or move my feet.

Both vinegar and aloe vera are great for sunburn. Hope this helps.

This makes me think of my friend Jeff...my family and a bunch of our close friends (including his family) all went to Hawaii one year, and he did himself in by not wearing sunscreen. What made it even worse was the fact that Jeff is a pure redhead - paleskin and all. He burnt so bad that he actually became physically ill - high fever and pretty bad blistering all over his body...anyway, after seeing that happen to him I try my best to always wear sunscreen, even though I am of a darker skin tone and tan easily.
Anyway, I am so so sorry to hear about your pain Jennifer - I hope you heal fast - oh, and btw, you are not fat at all!! In fact I think that tube top looks lovely on you. Take care chica!!

Jen:
I have some nice deep wrinkles under my eyes from being in the sun when I was your age...sorry to preach but...STAY OUT OF THE SUN!!! Why would you risk wrinkling that beautiful face?? There are tons of tanning products out there to make you look tan and if you are going to the beach WEAR THE SUNBLOCK!!!
Okay I'm done now!
Just one more thing...you are not fat! I wish I was that "fat"!!!

Ooo ouch!
sorry for that burn hun : (
u may wanna get at least one benefit from it, send ur pics to a beauty mag and tell them to publish it as the result for not using sunscreen, lol. jk
hey, did u try soaking it a cold milk bath? it works for babies rash and may cool the burns a bit, even if thy didn't a cool milk bath is never a bad thing..
oh and use a fridge cold yoghurt on ur face till it gets dry, and it will quickly
oh gosh, i remeber getting this kinda burn when i was in the middle school, i was naked
for about a week, just put on mom's silk tob to go out of my room for food or any of that
hope the milk bath and yoghurt work out for you
