I was at the beach yesterday and I got sunburned and very burnt on my knees ,the skin is streched is it better to try and keep walking or to stay sitting until it loosens up .I know its foolish but I didnt think it was that hot .


Answers:

OOOOhhhh, i feel your pain
put after sun on that you have kept in the fridge, and apply it every hr to keep the skin moisturised. Walk around dont sit still you have to keep the skin as mobile (if that makes sense?!) as possible.
Iv also been told to take a shower as hot as you can stand for as long as you can stand it as this takes the heat out. I wouldnt recommend it tho as it hurts like fcuk!
before you go to bed put loads of after sun on but dont rub it in too much so your skin can soak it up through the night and if its warm enough try to keep your bed covers off your legs
just keep your skin hydrated, drink lots of water, slather on the after sun and if it starts to peel DO NOT PICK THE SKIN!!
if it starts to blister or gets any worse rather than better seek medical advise as quickly as u can
