Good Evening! Well, what a 24 hours. I went out in the sun yesterday, only to come inside, feeling slightly hot and a bit pink, so I covered my arms, legs, face and neck (only areas exposed) in After Sun with Aloe Vera. I went to bed at 1am, feeling very hot, and woke up at 2am, with all my limbs and face PURPLE. I had lumps on my face, and on checking in the bathroom, I had boils or blisters. They started out as 2 or 3, they have now developed and literally cover the whole of my face, everywhere, white lumps/shapes.

I went to the Casualty department this morning as my skin is literally purple, even after using a bottle of after sun. Casualty told me I had incredibly bad burns, and gave me pain killers and a special after sun to buy. I am terribly worried about the blisters. They have literally covered my face - friends have had the odd 1 or 2 on holiday but never totally covered - will they go? will they leave scars? how long will they take to go?

I am so worried, the pain itself is slowly going away, and the redness will go (as it always does) but I have never ever experienced blisted, and I am quite literally crying over them. Someone please tell me, will they go? how long will they take to disappear? what can i do to make them abandon ship faster! PLEASE HELP ME!

Okay, so I just got sun blisters all over my face as well. I know this story is old but I'm still freaking out! They're only on the left side of my face. They're like grouped together. It looks like leathery.. And none are big and yellow. This is the morning after I spent 3 hours on the beach with no sun screen. I know, I feel stupid, but I didn't think it'll be this bad! How long did yours take to go away josh? And please tell me you didn't scar. I'm very self conscious about my looks, and I'm leaving to go on a family trip in a week! Will I be okay by then?
