fakking sunburn

I just lube it up with as much aloe and lotion and shea butter as I can. Other than that I guess pray. Drink tons of water and just hope that you wont peel. Sometimes I dont peel , sometimes I do.

if you start to peel with uneven color you have no choice but to exfoliate.

sucks! Im sorry.

I don't think I've ever peeled so bad it left uneven color, thank goodness. Good advice, though...I'll have to pick up some shea butter on my way home.

Really? I have! lol right on my forehead (sp? I've never had to spell that before) if you have/had a tan and you start to peel it looks like you have a flesh eating virus. haha
 
really nothing you can do for pealing - once the skin is dead it is dead. Just get it over with is what I do.

um...prevention is the best cure!

+1 for Aloe Vera

I know you mean well but I don't need a lecture about prevention. I was wearing spf 45, so it's not like I was being retarded about it.

Peal it off and move on retard :)
 
sponge on tomato juice to minimize the pain....moistuerizer/aloe vara for peeling...hope for the best!
 
if told you there was a new sport called kickball, and you had to imagine what it would be. it's that
 
yes, don't sit in the sun.
I baked in the sun for years and 3 years ago got skin cancer and am still fighting it
Not worth it. Fake tans look so much nicer anyway

I was once told that blow jobs and cum smears heals everything

It's great someone cares enough about you to let you in on that little secret. You know a bad burn will need multiple applications/doses. Hope the best for U.

Does anyone know any reliable ways to minimize peeling after a sunburn?

Thanks.
Angels got the secret recipe. Oh, post up some pics of the burn.
 
nimbus said:
nefertizzles, do you play kickball on wednesdays on thursdays

On wednesdays, when I get out of work early enough.

Blue, I wasn't attempting to tan...and being outside couldn't be avoided. But my skin is sensitive enough that spf 45 didn't do the job.

Covergirl, the redness doesn't bother me. I have really good makeup that tones it down nicely, and I don't expose the other burnt areas during work hours.

wtf is kickball??

is that like a bizzare name for soccer?

Hilarious. No kickball in canada? It's a playground game, or that's when I first played. Picture baseball, but with a big rubber ball that gets rolled when "pitched" and instead of hitting it with a bat, you kick it.

Unfortunately, if you are going to peel, you will peel. Once the skin cells are burned to that degree, no amount of lotion, etc will magically bring them back to life. The skin cells are dead at that point. All you can do is exfoliate them so at least the coloration is even.
 
vinegar, If it's pretty bad, put paper towles on the area if possible, i.e. chest, stomach, back, and pour the vinegar on and let set. Change them after a few minutes, you can feel the heat from the burn in them. keep doing it for as long as you can. For best results it needed to be done asap after you saw that you were burned. Pure alo vera lotion helps heal the skin and is soothing, use that too.

have you played against the team Go Balls Deep?
 
not to be a dick, but given the way you described your skin tone - getting a bad skin burn could be very bad for you going forward. I would really try to avoid it if you burn that bad.

For the third time lol. (I know you mean well, but I asked about treatment, not prevention. I'm pretty well aware of prevention measures and took as many as I could)

I was wearing spf 45.

I was not trying to tan.

I had to be outside, it was unavoidable.



But anyhoo, it's not a "bad" burn, and I have my dad's skin tone more than my mother's. I am fair because I chose to be, not because I can't tan. I like my youthful skin. This was an isolated incident.

Bathing in green tea supposedly helps.
 
nefertiti said:
No, but it sounds familiar...I'm gonna check the schedule. Do you have a friend playing on that team?

Excellent advice, sorry about your skin cancer. I think especially for faired skin this is very important.
 
if you're irish or such then avoid the sun like you are vampire. most people i know that have skin cancer issues are irish, scottish and such.


btw, i have a super kick ass tan and maybe i have spent a total of 7 hours in the sun and this is in May. thanks to M2.

<<< Scotch/ Irish, after I started using MT2, I don't burn anymore. Dr's say that if you got pretty severely sunburned before the age of 18, anyone is subject to skin cancer. I don't know many people who didn't. My age anyway, we didn't have SPF shit back then...
 
I tan easily as long as I am careful with my first few exposures. My skin type isn't the "can't tan/always burn" irish skin...I just prefer being fair, and enjoy the fact that my skin will stay youthful longer than the tanorexics my age.

I know right. That means everybody is going to get skin cancer.

I go to a skin cancer specialist. He is also a professor at Columbia University. I think he feels that it is more by mother and father and other family members.

Your name is one of the prion diseases I'm reading about in the book I just bought.

I can't recommend a therapy for that if you have it.

What is MT2?
 
CMarc said:

Probably Melanotan 2. It's a subcutaneously injectable compound that promotes melanin production in the skin.
 
ya'll missed pdaddyII's long thread on his usage and results of melatoninII? do a search! excellent reading material.
 
Emu oil might help the burn, too.

Future thought, if you don't use/have it already, get something that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. My ex was one freckle shy of albino, he burned with everything but this stuff called Shade that blocked both types of rays.

I have fair skin but it's never been alabaster or as white white as skin can get. Again, it's a type that can easily tan, I just usually choose NOT to.

I'm going to be on a boat all weekend the first weekend in june, so I'll check out that shade stuff. Thanks MM :)

that's it, he gave you the link to pdad's thread, I post on page 10 and thereafter, you can see what it will do, and a week of Maui sun.....
We pretty much explain the whole deal in the posts....

Yeah, you want to check that shit out, being on the water has essentially a doubling effect of the sun's rays. I looked it up on the web, it's by Coppertone and its definitely called Shade.
 
http://www.neutrogena.com/content_169.asp I have Neutrogena Ultra Sheer™ Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55 & 70. It's $10, but it comes in a 5 oz spray bottle, so you use it up fast.

A chemical stabilizer is included in sunscreens containing avobenzone to slow breakdown. Avobenzone is also the only ingredient that blocks only UVA.


The best UVA protection is provided by products that contain zinc oxide, avobenzone, and ecamsule. Titanium dioxide probably gives good protection, but does not completely cover the entire UV-A spectrum.

Results of sunscreen testing

PABA, phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, and avobenzone have photomutagenic or photogenotoxic effects.

In photocarcinogenicity tests, 4 compounds (Meroxyl SX, 2-ethylhexyl-paramethoxycinnamate, 3-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid, and titanium dioxide), have been found to protect against the development of cancer in hairless mice.[26]

No sunscreen ingredient has been found to be photocarcinogenic. [26]

In August 2007, The United States FDA proposed to disallow manufacturer claims on bottles that using sunscreens prevents cancer and to change SPF to refer to Sunburn Protection Factor instead of Sun Protection Factor (FDA proposed changes). This was done due to the epidemiological results in conjunction with some mechanistic studies which show that sunscreens prevent inflammation only and not necessarily the causes of melanoma.

from what i read sunscreens used in europe and other countries are better than the sunscreens used in USA, because FDA's policy is let's wait forever to approve something. no joke, FDA likes to wait like 10+ years after something is regarded safe to use in Europe and other countries. then the FDA says it's safe to use. :lmao: FDA speaking, "Well they have been using it in Europe and other countries for the last 10+ years and nobody has died from it, so we should look into approving it." :lmao:


ok, ok, rant over. here is some good products used in Canada, but the stuff isn't cheap. http://www.pharmacymix.com/product.aspx?ProductID=610&deptid=726& http://www.pharmacymix.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=4704&& You want something that covers the entire UVA/UVB spectrum. http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic510.htm


Vichy Capital Soleil, La Roche Posay, and L'Oreal makes products with Ecamsule. I'm sure there are others.

For years, beach-goers and adventurers in europe have wielded 21st-century shields against the sun. Meanwhile, thanks to the slow regulatory machinery of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), sun-loving Americans have been stuck squarely in the 20th.

Unlike most countries, which classify sunscreens as cosmetics, the U.S. categorizes the active ingredients in sunscreens as drugs and subjects them to the FDA's drug approval process. That's a long slog, especially because the agency is several years overdue in establishing comprehensive guidelines for evaluating sun protection. Any sunscreen ingredient submitted for approval -- such as Mexoryl, a highly effective product available in Europe -- ends up in regulatory limbo.

But new technology is making its way to the market. Last December Florida-based Ivax rolled out Heliocare, an oral supplement long available in a different form in Europe. Extracted from a Honduran fern, the orange capsules, used daily together with a topical sunscreen, ward off long-term damage, not just sunburn.
