i know that sounds like a dumb question but i cant really tell. i am naturally darker skinned i guess (i am italian) and today i was under the hot sun for like 3 hours with no sunblock on at all. i usually do this like every summer (it will never happen again, im sure) but i always seemed to just get a little red then tan nicely. i think i just kinda overdosed this time, LOL. it's not really painful but i'm definitely reddish and my skin is hot.
Am i sunburnt?
Yup, I was hot for 5 hours today, I'm a lobster.
Am i sunburnt?
Yes, apply aloe frequently.
Reply:Yep ... even dark skin can burn.
If your skin feels hot to the touch, and YOU feel hot (or alternating hot and cold), that's sunburn.
Applying some aloe gel and/or a product like Solarcaine will help take some of the heat out of your skin. Also, make sure to wear sunblock or sunscreen (even under your clothes) on the burned areas for a few days ... until your burn either turns to tan or peels off.
Reply:If it feels a little more tender then usual then definatly yes. Even if you don't get sun burned as easy as others i would recomend putting on sunscreen next time because you still would be exposed to harmful rays.
P.S. a big way to tell is if your skin starts peeling off.
Reply:yes. Im pretty sure you are but if you really want to make sure, Press your hand on your other arm and rub. If it hurts than you definately are!
