Me included.
I do wear sunscreen because I burn easily but I usually forget to put it on the first few times out. And even when I do my skin doesn't necessarily burn.
Unfortunately my skin has some issues with this sudden change from a Vitamin D deficient life to being pumped full of those beautiful rays of warmth and UV.

It erupts.
Yes it erupts into an ugly, itchy, skin rash that is caused by all of this extra exposure to the sun. Usually I only get it on the back of my hands. This year my neck seems to have joined in this rash party and it isn't pretty.
It isn't pretty at all.

Maybe Dr. Stone can fix you.
It's our Scandinavian skin. We don't get along with the sun that well.
I'm so sorry-I can definitely relate. My Irish/English blood isn't crazy about the sun either. I've become resigned to buying lotions that always have SPF in them. If pale is ever in, I'm good to go:)
Yuck. I get a sun rash, but it is usually all over my body. It looks like I have tiny zits everywhere.
Does your rash stay for long? I also found mine actually gets worse when I use sunscreen (and of course, when I don't, I still get a rash and a horrible blistered burn). Lovely.
I hope it feels better soon!
Oh, that looks so painful!
Man oh Man! That is no fun! Why must the sun torture us? Especially those that love it!
Well that's not fun!
no fun in the sun for you!
Ouch! My Mom gets this too. I'm sorry!
O sad, that looks like it hurts!
i get that, too! it's our dang genetics! i actually had to take antihistamines because the sun would give me such bad hives. boo, skin.
My friend has that, too. It sucks b/c I like to do outdoor things in summer and hers really limits what she can do in the daytime when it's sunny. :)
Ouch! My poor son is the same. Burn, peel, burn, peel.....
Me toooooooooooo!!! I am Scandanavian too and it's genetic. My dermatologist said it's called PMLE. I get it every spring to mid summer on my arms, face, ears, and chest. I haaaaaaaaaaate it! The dermatologist said after a few months it gets "better" (or less itchy) because the skin goes into a hardening phase. So weird.
Owie! Poor white lady.
Maybe you are part Albino?
Sympathies and commiserations.
Ouch.
I used to get a long with the sun - notsomuch anymore.
That looks painful! I suggest a Burka.
Ouchy!
I would die without my sun fix!
Sunburns and sunrashes are never fun. My sister in law gets these whenever she is in too cold of a climate or too warm of one. Perhaps an icepack would help the redness go down? I worked as a lifeguard for several summers and that seemed to help some of our staff who had this occur to them.
