Well my face is puffy and my lip is swolen and it feels like I have bubbles all over it, but there is nothing there. All my friends have it after we went to the beach yesterday and we didn't keep reaplying sunscreen. Do you know what this is and how to treat it.

You may have sun poisoning. Go see the doctor soon.

you have had an allergic reaction to too much sun, and likely the sunscreen. There are a great many chemicals in sunscreen, you may want to consider changing to a sun block, like titanium oxide. In the meantime, take benedryl 25 to 50 mgs every four hours (this can make you sleepy), and apply cool wet cloths to your face for comfort and to assist in bringing down the swelling.

Sounds like you may have gotten third degree burns(Sunburn) on your lips. Use Aloe from a Aloe Vera Plant and apply in heavy. Stay out of the sun for a few days also. You should also have it checked out by your doctor in case of infection.

I laid out on Daytona Beach once for about 4 hours with no sunscreen (dry heat feels so nice...)...the next day my face puffed up like a melon (sun poisoning)...I just had to stay indoors and avoid even indirect sun....you could go to a dermatologist too if you are worried...

Sounds like you have to much sun.
Take some bendryl - apply ice on for 10 off for 20 and repeat.
Asprin if you are burned every four hours or motrin -
I'd do Motrin then at the 6 hour mark asprin - four hours later mortrin -
Call your MD if you aren't better tomorrow at this time.

you and all your friends should really see your doctors about this,if you were on the beach and as young people always do on the beach play around in the sand,you could have picked up a skin infection called impetiego,i know,when my brother was a child,we used to go to the beach often and he loved to play in the sand,one day he had these blisters all over and our pediatrician said it was impitiego,so be on the safe side and get it checked out.

I have had this happen to me before. You are severly sun blistered. The bubbles you feel are water bubbles. They are from continuously getting in the water. You should get some (green) aloe vera. The actual gel. and apply it constantly to keep your face moisterized. if not the bubbles will pop and they will crack your face. you need to get aloe vera and if not then you will need to check with your doctoer

I am guessing either allergic reaction, if you all used the same sunscreen or plain old sunburn because you didn't care for your skin. Use aloe vera. Also could be heat rash.

Sounds like a severe sunburn or perhaps sun poisoning. See a doctor.
