A Day in the Life...

It's Still Here....

My sunburn, that is.  After slathering my daughter and self with aloe vera last night, I went to bed. I woke up none too happy. Yes, it helped with the 'pain'. However, since I put it on my face it irritated my overly sensitive skin. UGH!!!! I now have a worse acne breakout than I was experiencing BEFORE the aloe. Nice. Plus, I look like Rudolph's long lost cousin...minus the fuzzy antlers. My arms only hurt a little, except when I took my shower...OUCH!

 This is the strangest sunburn I have had though. My skin is a solid coating of red where it is burnt (which is typical), but there are red raised 'welts' on top of that. The red skin underneath has lightened considerably overnight, but the welts remain and they are painful. Looks almost like I got splattered with hot grease and got burned that way. Wierd. My daughter has a typical little sunburn on her arms which also lightened a lot by this morning. Luckily, she didn't have any of the 'welts' that I have. She wanted to go outside today, but I felt it would be best if she stayed inside to heal some, as well as myself.

I think the welts are where you burned more. My daughter always burns like that and it always bubbles up on the back of her neck. I hope you heal quickly.
