I got a really bad sunburn about 6 months ago and....?!


Question:

I got a really bad sunburn about 6 months ago and....?

I can still feel it!
I was in the sun for around 5 hours in a 40 degree day in and out of water, (i know, I know) im stupid. But enough of that ok.
I was bad! I had it half way down my back, burnt up the side of my left leg and mildly on the face, I couldn't walk on my leg for about a week, and my back was like leather and blistered badly I had to sleep on a t-towl at night so it wouldn't dampen the bed.
6 months later it's all gone, but at times after a shower my back feels all dry and cracked, but its not if you know what i mean?
This feeling dosn't last long but should I be feeling this?
So is there any nerve damage there?
or is it all phycological because it was so bad?
Please help and best answer gets 10 points.
Thanks.


Answers:

When you take a shower use just warm water and not real hot, once you dry off have bf or hubby condition your back with a nice lotion that has moisturizer in it. Your skin was damaged by the sunburn and probably is still tender...this will help it heal. As far as the rest of this summer goes make sure if you go swimming or are on beach that you use a sun block on your shoulders and back. Try not to expose the skin to more damage. Part of it may be just psychological but why not it won't hurt to keep your back moisturized plus you will enjoy it when your bf or hubby is taken care of you.LOL We all need that once in awhile.
