Last bad sunburn was tops of feet as an 18 year old....but sunburn's the least of your dramas.
Two years ago diagnosed with basal carcinoma on inner thigh. Cut two cms deep and removed. Two week infection.
A month later, melanoma on top of thigh, 2mm away from being melanoma that gets into blood stream that can kill.
Same time melanoma on forearm, 10 cm scar and skin about it numb to this day because of nerves severed at time of removal.
Two years on I am still alive, have 6 monthly top of head to toe nail examinations and no more melanomas, but every time I visit I get blasted with nitrous oxide that stings like ****, blisters and leaves your head red and sore.
Sunburn is not fun.
Don't do it.
