I still want to hit you up side the head...*cue mom voice* I mean, what were you thinking not wearing sunscreen, Mr.? Trying to get your life time supply of Vit-D in one go? Not cool though.

Ya, they get you to wait because basically, you have to wait to be called, and then you have to wait for a room that is specifically in the area that you are having trouble with. So you'd wait your turn, and then you'd wait for a skin room or what have you.

Your skin is going to be really sensitive...don't wear a shirt except when you absolutely have to (or it will kill), and if you have to wear a shirt, wear a light breathable fabric. When I got a really bad burn right at the end of second year university, I had, *had* to wear strapless shirts, it was the only way to avoid screaming in pain all through the exams.

I went to the Molson Indy and forgot sunscreen one year. Burnt is an understatemnt. As time goes on it hurts worse. About a month later my skin peeled of in huge chunks. Sort of neat and disgusting at the same time. Like a snake shedding one layer

Yeah the after sunstuff or Noxema (sp?) something for your skin. I wonder why they did not perscribe something for your skin?

Hey, the exact same thing happened to me when I got bad frostbite on my hands. They were incredibly itchy and painful for a month or two, and then the skin peeled off like a glove, I kid you not. It was quite disgusting.

But yeah, Matt, aloe and lot of it. I also used that for my frostbite. It helped.
