Answer 6

I think it is sunburn.

* Sunburn explained *

Sunburn is the skin’s reaction to the ultraviolet radiation (UV) in sunlight. Almost all of us will get sunburnt at least once in our lives, and about 5.6 million Australians get sunburnt each year. Sunburn can occur in less than 15 minutes and can take a few days or weeks to heal depending on the severity.

Mild sunburn can be treated at home, but severe and blistered burns need prompt medical attention. The long term effects of repeated bouts of sunburn include premature wrinkling and increased risk of skin cancer. Once the skin damage occurs, it is impossible to reverse. This is why prevention is much better than cure. Remember to ‘slip-slop-slap’ whenever you go out in the sun - slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat. Wear sunglasses too, since UV radiation can also hurt your eyes.

Symptoms
The symptoms of sunburn include:

Change in skin colour, ranging from pink to red and even purple
Skin feels hot to the touch
Pain
Swelling
Fluid-filled blisters that may itch and eventually pop or break
Broken blisters peel to reveal even more tender skin beneath.

Reactions to UVA and UVB radiation
In addition to light and heat, the sun emits invisible ultraviolet radiation. Excessive exposure to UV damages the skin permanently and may cause skin cancer, including the dangerous malignant melanoma. The three types of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, based on their wavelength, are UVA, UVB and UVC. The earth’s atmosphere absorbs nearly all of the most dangerous one - UVC - before it reaches the ground. UVA and UVB radiation are both involved in sunburn, but skin reacts differently to each one:

UVA - penetrates into the deeper skin layers and damages the site where new skin cells are born. Wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin are the results of long term exposure to UVA radiation.
UVB - affects the surface skin layer. The skin responds by releasing chemicals that dilate blood vessels. This causes fluid leakage and inflammation - better known as sunburn.

Self-help remedies
There is no cure for sunburn except time and patience. Treatment aims to help manage the symptoms while the body heals. Suggestions include:
Drink plenty of water, because you’re probably dehydrated as well as sunburnt.
Gently apply cool or cold compresses. Alternatively, bathe the area in cool water.
Avoid using soap, as this may irritate your skin.
Don’t apply butter to sunburnt skin.
There is a range of products available that help to soothe sunburn - see your chemist for product suggestions.
If using commercially prepared sunburn products, it might be wise to choose spray-on solutions rather than creams you have to apply by hand.
Calamine lotion (or equivalent) may be helpful if the sunburnt area is particularly itchy.
Don’t pop blisters.
Consider covering the itchy blisters with a wound dressing to reduce the risk of infection.
Pain permitting, moisturise the skin. This won’t stop the burnt skin from peeling off, but it will help boost the moisture content of the skin beneath.
Take over-the-counter painkillers, if necessary.
Keep out of the sun until every last sign of sunburn has gone.

Peeling skin
There’s no cream or lotion that will stop burnt skin from peeling off. This is part of the natural healing process. Suggestions include:
Resist the temptation and don’t pick at the skin. Allow the dead skin sheets to detach on their own.
Remove detached skin carefully and slowly. Don’t rip skin sheets off or you risk removing more skin than you intended.
Apply antiseptic cream to the newly revealed skin to reduce the risk of infection.
Consider covering up with clothing to stop other people from picking at your peeling skin.

Professional treatment
You should see your doctor or seek treatment from your nearest hospital emergency department if you experience symptoms including:
Severe sunburn with extensive blistering and pain
Sunburn over a large area
Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Fever
Dizziness or altered states of consciousness.

Prevention is best
It is important to cover up with clothing, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to unprotected skin, wear a hat and sunglasses, and keep out of the sun during the middle of the day. Further suggestions on how to avoid getting sunburnt include:
Don’t assume that sunshine is ‘safe’ when it doesn’t sting your skin - that sting or ‘bite’ you can feel is infrared radiation, not UV radiation.
UV radiation levels aren’t linked to temperature, so don’t just ‘slip-slop-slap’ on hot days. Sunburn is more likely on milder days when the temperature ranges from 18° to 27° Celsius.
You’re more likely to get sunburnt when you’re relaxing and taking it easy, such as watching outdoor sports or picnicking at the park. Don’t forget to ‘slip-slop-slap’.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that solariums are a safer way to tan - you can get sunburnt in a solarium too.
What many people assume is windburn is actually sunburn. Winter activities such as snow skiing pose a high risk of sunburn because UV radiation is more severe in alpine regions than at sea level. Snow is also every efficient at reflecting UV radiation.
