Default anyone here allergic to the sun ?

i know random one but i just come back from me hols ( nice quiet time) and the second day i got bad sunburn, ankles swollen up and then a few days later major blisters and skin was pealing off in fucking sheets then i start getting a rash but where the sunburn is,,,,, i visit the quack and he tells me my skin is allergic to the sun and perscribed me with antibiotics to take swelling down and deal with the rash

anyone else had this ( im expecting a few replys from our friends in scotland ect )

ive been told not to spend too much time in direct sun when on holiday next ( so whats the fucking point going if i can only come out at night )

you are, by the very fact that you are ginger, more prone than every other type of person other than albino's, to get sunburnt

your skin doens't have enough stuff in it to succesfully block out the suns rays

so you've only got your folks to blame for looking like an offering from celebrity master chef

I agree with Dojj entirely.

Gingers are a recessive gene too and are destined to be wiped out, but unfortunately not in my lifetime....

it's just heat rash mixed with the sun burn

it'll go away with a few days and the antibiotis are there simply to stop you from infecting it when you scratch it

you are reacting to the sun, it's not a burn as such it's just that your body has grown intollerant of it and so it's doing stuff to protect itself from the effects by flushing the water to the surface to cool itself down further, which explains the lobster look

Ginger types don't have the correct levels of some chamocal in their skins to tan properly which is why they tend to have loads more freckles as well. And generally Ginger will be very very rare in about 4 or 5 generations time as it's the weakest of the genetic traits to triumph at the embryonic stages of growing in mummys tummy
