autumn_rain , in Blisters from sunburn. Does it look bad?

Your skin is still cooking long after you come in after the sun and you can get dehydration, fever and chills. The skin stops functioning like it is meant to and it's going to take a while to heal, if you get complications and infections go see a doctor.

You don’t cook in the sun. The ultraviolet light damages your dna and your cells perform apoptosis and die.

autumn_rain ,

Sorry, that was a wrong description. What I meant is that the skin is still burning long after exposure. The process can continue for a day or two and sometimes more blisters will pop up or swelling and complications can get worse.

Aloe Vera gel will help with the pain.

Don’t do this again. Your risk of skin cancer goes up with every bad sunburn.

logi ,

Aloe Vera now and every 3 hours for a week. Apply lots. Apply it often.

It does more than just help with the pain and partially repairs the damage done.

And thanks for the reminder to reapply on my knees from the surprise sunny bike ride yesterday.

CarbonatedPastaSauce ,

It's always those little spots you don't think about. 😂

Seabass78 , in Blisters from sunburn. Does it look bad?

FYI how hot is in the sun isn't important, the "burn" is from UV radiation. Can still get burnt when it's cool outside, it just tends to be more likely when it's hot as the UV index is generally higher when it's hotter.

Why are you asking randos on the internet? If you're that worried see a doctor

Look at Mr. Socialized healthcare over here, negging on an American trying to get the best care they can.

SkyezOpen ,

Its easy, all I gotta do is schedule an appointment with my doctor next month so they can refer me to a dermatologist that I can call 3 times before anyone picks up and then schedule an appointment 2 months from then so they can tell me I already died of megacancer.

solrize , in Bisexual and transgender adults report loneliness twice as much as straight adults: CDC

I had always heard that bisexuals had twice the chance of getting a date on Saturday night. TIL.

Twinklebreeze ,

Twice as much rejection, too.

meyotch ,

Not one bit true. If you choose to be honest about being bi, many heteronormals find it a turn off.

solrize , in Blisters from sunburn. Does it look bad?

Yeah I did that multiple times as a kid. It's gonna hurt and itch like hell for a while. You can spray Solarcaine on it and that helps. Better wear two million sunblock next time.

OsrsNeedsF2P , in Blisters from sunburn. Does it look bad?

Yup that's gonna give you at least a headache and a non-zero chance of skin cancer. It's also going to make your skin look much older over time.

Hydrate. Cool the skin down. Apply moisturizing lotion. And don't do that again.

ID411 , in Blisters from sunburn. Does it look bad?

Cold wet towels, painkillers, no more sun.

ArmoredThirteen , in Bisexual and transgender adults report loneliness twice as much as straight adults: CDC

I'm sure it has nothing to do with being consistently rejected by society, and even social groups within lgbtq+ communities

GregorGizeh ,

Fair points, but this is also a numbers game, and the vast majority of people is not romantically interested, or rather, compatible with them. Seems logical to me that people end up alone more often under those circumstances

Hi it's me pan trans 4x lonely girl 🙃

@Hahah_Montana@lemmy.wtf avatar

You're a 4X? Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate? Gender is wild nowadays.

Kyatto ,
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

So, I've let this digest a bit.

I do really like 4X games, especially Stellaris, it is very fun.

On the other hand, I don't know if people are gonna think I'm a total loser here but, seriously? You know what I meant, and it really feels like you are being trivializing and demeaning. Maybe you are just making light of stuff. But it really just feels like u are making a helicopter joke, and if you are, just leave me alone.

Hahah_Montana ,
@Hahah_Montana@lemmy.wtf avatar

Wow. Way to not take a light joke, wtf is your problem?

Kyatto ,
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

Yep, you're a troll like I thought. Buh-bye

Hahah_Montana ,
@Hahah_Montana@lemmy.wtf avatar

Correction, because obviously "problem" should have been plural in my reply. 🙄

Kyatto , (edited )
@Kyatto@leminal.space avatar

I admitted in my reply you may have been making a joke and I may be taking things wrong, even though the connotations are there for me to plainly see, giving you a chance to simply reach out and clarify. You are escalating here, cursing at me and telling me I have problems when I'm just calmly reacting to what I saw as your subtle "light" transphobic joke.

Edit: And why not, I'll answer your question, what are my problems?
I'm tired, stressed, overworked, underpaid, exploited, hated, feeling unloved, dealing with dysphoria and dysmorphia, stuck in place, stuck in a body that makes me cry, in pain, worried, at the end of my rope.

And I usually get through it with a smile, I stay positive, I look forward. However many things are going wrong in my life at the moment and I am really struggling.

pepperonisalami , in Abortion is becoming more common in primary care clinics as doctors challenge stigma

I guess if there's any positive thing from the abortion bans in the US is that it's pushing the whole issue to the public consciousness worldwide.

peopleproblems , in Bird Flu Pandemic 'Very Likely', Warns Former CDC Director

Lmfao

How fucking great would that be. Last time I separated from my wife, COVID. I separate (and divorce this time, finally got paperwork ready to be served, learned my lesson about trusting her) and we get bird flu.

Hoping my next relationship doesn't have disastrous outcomes like this

trevor , (edited ) in Bird Flu Pandemic 'Very Likely', Warns Former CDC Director

Friendly reminder that these pandemics are the direct result of animal exploitation and carnists have themselves to thank for making the entire world suffer to an incalculable extent, just so they can have 5 minutes of mouth pleasure.

Those "super bugs" and antibiotic-resistant bacteria you've heard scientists express dire concern about for many years? Yep. This is it. And it'll only continue happening as long as we allow animals to be systemically bred into existence and exploited.

emergencyfood ,

The majority of the antibiotics we produce are given to animals in factory farms, at doses so high they shit out the bulk of it. This contaminates the soil, streams and lakes with antibiotics, resulting in resistant bacteria. The best part? Antibiotics are sometimes given to healthy animals to fatten them up. (This last bit is illegal in the EU and now China also.)
