What is the worst you've ever been sunburned (or other burned)? Where was it and how much did it hurt?!


My worst time was when I was about 17ish... I went to a beach with my family and, for some unfathomable reason, did not apply any sunscreen whatsoever... I had sunglasses, but I don't think I had a hat. I sort of wanted to read a book on the sand the whole time rather than go out of the shade and into the water, but I must have ended up going into the water and out of the shade (I don't remember some details). Because I was an idiot and did not apply any (which I'd never not done before, because I burn really easily), I got veerrryyy burnt on my shoulders, legs, arms and probably some of my face. It was so tender than even moving my limbs hurt. xD The worst part is that my shoulders bubbled. They were that fried that the next day/hours later/whatever, they were actually bubbling. Man, they absolutely stung to touch. I feel so sorry for my poor shoulders. xD I was so mean. Now I have freckles on both shoulders, which I didn't have before.

Funny but really gross: about a week or two after that happened, I went to a birthday party at one of those really awesome giant playgrounds you can rent out, and I remember running around and sweating so much that sweat was pooling under my peeling shoulder skin. XD It was sooooooooo gross. I kept peeling the skin off while nobody was looking. Sweaty, loose skin...sorry, cleaners! They probably thought some reptile had gotten in. XD



So, what are your stories?!
