how can i tell if i have sunburn?

Answer 1

Slap yourself pretty hard where you think you are sunburned. If it hurts so band you fall to the floor then you have sunburn. Hey, it's works.

Answer 2

Simple: Sunburns hurt. Also, the skin turns red, or even blisters. A sunburn will begin to hurt within about 4 hours of getting it and will continue to hurt for days afterward.

The skin will turn red and tighten up. Depending on the severity of the burn it may blister and peel after a few days. Gnerally sunburned skin is over sensitive to warm water.

Is your skin reddish and warm to the touch? Does your skin also hurt when you touch it or bump it against something? You've also got to consider how long were you in the sun.
