Ouch, sounds painful!

But I'm glad you found out so you can be aware of it in the future. People underestimate how strong the sun really is. Went to a BBQ and was outside for about 2 hours (was no clear sun out as well, one of those cloudy but warm days) and after I got inside my whole face puffed up and started oozing stuff out. Really disgusting and it was like this for 8 days. Let's just say I never forget suntan lotion after that
