medical types and other people who are smarter than me.
sunburned pretty badly last sunday, was wearing a ball cap so mostly on my chest and shoulders. I used some sunscreen but it was probably 4 years old and watery.
threw up some (nothing serious--junk miles, really) yesterday and noticed when shedding my top a bunch of pus-like blisters upon the sunburned area. Reckoned the burn was worse than I thought; they must have just been missed earlier.
this morning they were gone.
when running again today I was careful to use a soft synthetic breather shirt and keep my arms relaxed at my sides.
same fucking thing happened. I suspect maybe it's sweat trapped under the damaged skin but does anyone know if that's it and why it happens?

Being a doctor, I think I'm qualified to point you here:

that's the weird part, they didn't break at first. There're a bunch of small circles of peeling skin this morning , with no weeping or raw sores beneath so I'm sure that it's not the love blisters spreading or anything like that.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:wash the blisters with anti-bacterial soap and get a tetnus shot
just weird, is all. Though I appreciate a healthy appetite for mockery, was somehow still hoping a mind of experience or at least being of less sarcastic inclination (enter Gibbs) would help.

you native iowans pay a lofty price as the burn immunity is derived from dense cow-methane-induced cloud coverDave wrote:Sunburn? What's that.. I've never been burned. I get red, but I dont burn

if you haven't had a tetanus shot in 10 years you may need one (i think, i'm no docotr)

oh yes I believe you were serious it's a new thing i'm doing called shotgun discussery. For example, I addressed gibbses mockery and sacasm and your advice all within the same paragraph. I do have tetanus-proofing from less than a year ago and i'll try some of that antibacterial soap tonight.HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:HM-PuFFNSTuFF wrote:wash the blisters with anti-bacterial soap and get a tetnus shot
