I'm pale-skinned, and I like the sun. Sunburn is a part of my life. The worst sunburn I ever got was sometime around the age of 10 or 12 when I played outside all day and got sunburn on my arms so bad it turned to blisters. The worst area of the body to get sunburn is any place that bends or regularly touches other things, such as the tops of feet, behind the knees, and the entire back. Getting sunburn on the head is unusually painful because it feels like the sun actually touched your brain. I'd have to say the worst part about sunburn is that you don't know you have it until it's too late. And there's really no indication that it's happening. Some people think they can see my skin getting red, but that's not how it works. Sunburn shows up several hours later. I can be in the hot sun for hours and feel like my skin is melting off, but if I'm wearing sunscreen, I get no color at all. Thank God for sunscreen. My life would be quite different without it. Either I'd be a recluse or I'd constantly be in extreme pain. #health
