Junebuggie 942 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I recently got a sunburn on my right shoulder and it started peeling today. While applying some lotion on it, I noticed a small brown spot that has never been there before. Should I be concerned or is this normal? It's not a huge spot, but it was a pretty bad burn.....

idol diet 184 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 at the start of the year (in fact i remember it to be new year's day, since that was when I Got A Terrible Song was released), I went to a water park, stayed shirtless the entire day, and got horrible sunburn. It was so bad, that I couldn't sleep for the first week afterwards, was in constant pain, and, shortly after not only peeling, an extremely large and almost unbelievable amount of blisters started appearing on my chest, shoulders, and upper back (some reaching the diameter of golf balls). I ended up being prescribed some medicinal cream, but also had to wait two entire weeks for the blisters to subside. In fact, the area that had blisters is still quite red to this day, and has more than likely left me with permanent scarring, in the form of discolouration and numerous freckles. Moral of the story: 1. stay out of the fucking sun 2. go to a god damn doctor - it's never a bad thing to just check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mglsts 960 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 If after a couple of days it's painful, has some volume and/or has irregular shape, then you should definitely see your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candykiss 2,124 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Is it melanoma? Google it and if it looks like it than you should see a doctor ~ It can be deadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherry bomb 1,628 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Oh I remembered this episode in family guy where Stewie got a bad case sunburn, then after he peeled off the burnt part he noticed a brown spot and he thought it was cancerous. But on a serious note, you should definitely go see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
