I trimmed my head down to a zero (practically bald), with some clippers....and I applied suncreen (I guess unevenly), and I had a good amount of exposure to the sun this weekend. Friday I kinda had red marks on my head, especially a lot on one side. Saturday I avoided the sun, and then Sunday I went in the sun for a while, with a shirt covering the burnt part...I guess it didn't help cause my head still managed to get red as hell (in blotches).
Yesterday I made the mistake of being in the sun for five minutes while smokin a cigarette (with sunscreen).
Well anyway, I got like this really weird red, blotch pattern on my head, especially a lot in this one patch. But the thing is, its not peeling. Does it stay red for a few days before it peels?
Is this a sunburn, or maybe some allergic reaction to something. What worries me is it hasn't peeled at all, and it doesn't burn/hurt at all. I'm gonna stay out of the sun, not put moisturizer, and not shave for a few days. Any insight?

it will be red...and if you are using aloe, or any moisturizer and sunscreen when you are in the sun it might not peel much at all. or you could just lack pigment there. the back of my calves have spots where i don't burn or tan...just white. and a girl i went to school with never could get her feet and ankels tan or burnt.

Yes, a sunburn stays red for several days before it starts to peel the dead skin. But, if you aren't feeling the burn you may be reacting to some ingredient in the sunscreen. Check the directions on the sunscreen container. You may need to visit your doctor.
