I went in the sun Thursday around 90°F temperature and didn’t put on sunscreen. Now I’m kind of feeling pretty bad.

    You don’t cook in the sun. The ultraviolet light damages your dna and your cells perform apoptosis and die.

      Sorry, that was a wrong description. What I meant is that the skin is still burning long after exposure. The process can continue for a day or two and sometimes more blisters will pop up or swelling and complications can get worse.
