Sunburn and the Ashes

[Maelstrom]

I went to the first day of the Adelaide Test and what a fantastic days cricket it was. The only problem is that now I’m lying here paralysed from the scalp down with hideous sunburn.

Does anyone know any good remedies for third degree burns??

Sheesh, and I used 15+ all day as well. I guess that’s what I get for having Scandinavian/Scottish heritage.

I heard White Vinegar takes the sting out of sunburn not to sure if it actualy works or not........but may be worth a shot

Thanks for that! In this level of pain I'm willing to give anything a shot. Well, almost anything!

worked for me the other day after i went water skiing

Just out of curiosity if you tried it did it work?

Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I actually peeled my forehead off this morning and all the excess skin. I now look like a monster out of Dr. Who. The searing pain followed but I managed to soothe it with an unusual mix of vinegar and aloe vera. Strange.

Still, I decided that I should peel it then and there and had a shave as well. At least I can nod my head now without fear of it falling off.

Thanks heaps!!

Thats ok , i was never game to try it, didnt wanna walk around smelling like vinegar

I usually stink anyway, so I figured it couldn't hurt. The pain on my face has subsided for now as my skin begins it's journey back. Although my lips cracked an blistered last night which helped me find a new barrier for my pain threshold. Joy

I've realised that sunburn is the poor man's exfoliation.

[Maelstrom]
