I didn't think it was that bad till like the day after cause it was still pretty red. It wasn't until Tues that it started to get bumpy in the middle where my rash usually starts. And when I felt that, I was like OH NO! This is not going to turn out good. It's hard to say what kind of burn it turned out to be just cause the rash made it worse. And I think the reason why it stings is that the areas that might be where the rash is, might interfere with the stuff I'm putting on for the burn. So it might be a little blistered between the sunburn and the rash. But now, I'm also starting to itch and I really can't scratch it or I'd make it hurt more.
I heard that putting butter on was the worse thing to do. In fact, I heard alot more stories about using apple cider vinegar on the burn. I guess it's supposed to take the sting out and cool it down. I was going to do that the other day but with the way it bothered me when I put aloe on, I can imagine the stinging the vinegar would've caused me.
I think I learned my lesson the hard way even though I did have sunscreen with me, I just still don't know why I didn't put anything on that area.
