My wicked sunburn has blistered. I have little blisters all over my back, sides, and on my side-boob (which also somehow escaped sunscreen application). It burns (no pun intended) and is horribly uncomfortable.
The funny thing is that I haven't had a sunburn, let alone one that blistered, in at least two decades. I didn't know what to do, so I had to call the school nurse for advice (after I had to have my kickboxing instructor check me out to verify that, yes, I was indeed covered with little blisters). On the way home from the gym, I picked up some kick-ass aloe vera with lidocaine (a topical pain killer), and now I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm just a little skeeved out at the prospect of them starting to ooze ...

Did you just completely forget the sunscreen? ;)
That looks painful. I hope it doesn't get worse before it gets better.

No. I just applied it REALLY poorly. Because I avoid the sun, I guess I'm out of practice. :/
