Okay, my family and I went to Myrtle Beach about a month ago (3 weeks, pretty much) and my mother and I got some reaaaaallllly bad sunburn! I mean, we could barely sleep, it hurt so badly and was swollen. Afterwards, we came home and we started the long healing process. I developed some blisters, hardly any, and so did my mother. Well, after a week or so, mine started healing pretty well, but my mother’s was taking forever to heal. We both developed an extreme itch, though they were different.

Mine:
Sunburn peeled, very dry skin, scabbed over, peeled the rest of the way. Only develop an itch in early morning and late at night. During the midpart of the day and evening, I hardly even have to think about it. Now, 3 weeks later, I’ve started to develop raised bumps where I’ve been scratching. This itching is INTENSE and slightly painful in certain areas. Itches worse in the area where I blistered.

Mom’s symptoms:
Took a very long time for her to start peeling. Had a few blisters. Itches intensely all the time, red, pimple-like bumps appeared week 2, has continued on. Soothed with lotions, and tapered a bit with baking soda and vinegar. Comes back intensely. Says it feels akin to being bit by little fire ants.

Does anyone or has anyone experienced this before? If so, what did you do to heal? Is this sun poisoning or some type of allergy? Please respond ASAP, this SUCKSSS!!!

Thanks for answering in advance.
