Today, I got sunburnt to a crisp on the first day of my holidays away. Only 5 more days to go now, spent inside, trying not to burn more. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the beach. After applying sunscreen liberally and doing my best to stay out of the sun, I came home with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I almost needed to go to the hospital. I am officially too pale to be allowed outside in summer. FML
Today, I went on a camping trip with my friends, but forgot to bring sunscreen. I spent the entire day outside and ended up with a severe sunburn all over my body. The pain is unbearable and I can't even move without yelping as if I was slowly being cooked in an air fryer. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. I was the only one who put on sunblock, and the only one who got a sunburn. FML
Today, I'm so pale that I managed to get a sunburn while sitting in a bus. FML
Today, I was badly sunburnt even after making it a point to apply a lot of sunscreen. My coworkers thought it amusing to slap me every chance they get. FML
Today I got sunburned on my cheeks. This wouldn't be too bad if they were the ones on my face. FML
Today, after applying sunscreen to myself every two hours, I still got sunburned. Through my clothes. FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, I'm on vacation and stupidly bought the cheapest sunblock I could find. Instead of protecting my skin, the sunblock acted as a damn lightning rod for the sun, and I now look like I just spent a few hours on a spit-roast. FML
Today, it was lovely outside so I decided to tan outside. I burn pretty easily, so I put on sunscreen. I fell asleep on my side, so when I woke up, I had a massive burn on only one side of my body, with sunglass lines. Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I'm going to go in looking like a racoon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I did that when I went to Spain. Drink lots of water and lounge in the shade.

OP, I'm gonna say YDI. Sunscreen is a thing.

I got one of the worst burns of my life a few years ago. Found a product in the lotion aisle that is lidocaine and aloe together. That shit became my lifeline. It's blue and transparent. Eat as much coconut oil as you can, put it on toast or in a smoothie. It will help heal inside out. Don't put oil products on the skin, they keep the heat in. There are "after sun" lotions that are oil free. Get that too if they have it. Drink so much water. You literally burned yourself. Keep a full bottle next to you at all times. Eat carefully. When your body is in trauma/shock your digestion is effected. Eat healthful, nutritious, moist food or you will get constipated. Cooling. Yogurt is your friend. Yogurt/avocado/honey is a facial mixture that people make all the time. You can put it all over your body until you find the aloe/lidocaine. If you can't find the lidocaine at the drug store, try a pet store. They have the same thing for "hot spots" when a pet is itching themselves to death. It's truly difference between level 9-10 pain and level 6-7.

That's what happens in Australia. If you're white (like me) you cover up and wear sunscreen.
