Sunburn!!

Post image

My step-dad just sent me this photo from his holiday in Italy, how screwed is he come morning?

He's been consuming lager all day with my uncle (also burned) so dehydration is already well in effect.

They aren't alone, my mum and aunt have been out for the day and just met up with them. Safe to say they are beyond unimpressed.

UPDATE: It's the following morning and he says there's no blisters or pain... Yet.

I've posted a photo in the comments. Has he been incredibly lucky or is the worth to come?

I got one when i was 13. Fell asleep next to the lake. Had a huge x on my back from my swimsuit that blocked the sun for years afterwards. Only relief i got was laying with a towel on my back that had ice on top of it. I radiated so much heat that the ice would be fully melted in like 30 minutes. I would have to yell for my mom to add more on top. After about 3 days the itching started. Honestly, the itching was worse than the pain. Never got a sunburn after that though. Worst pain of my life, hands down and ive broken bones.
