Sunburn is nasty, but not sure why this is even a news story.

 

But the topic is pretty serious. I wasn't very diligent in my youth about sunscreen

 

10 years ago ended up with skin cancer on left cheek.

 

Got it all removed, but left me with a nasty scar.

 

It enhances my bad boy image lol

 

But seriously maximum sunscreen you can get. 

 

Couple of years back I shared the pic of my face after having the cancer removed, not pretty

What's up with that pic for this article??? Bizarre pandering

 

This was all a viral marketing effort for her upcoming OF page release, available to subscribers on her birthday. Use promo code: I'mTheMainCharacter 

actually, the article may seem silly but people forget to take precautions on vacation.

so it's a useful reminder.

and never underestimate the sun in thailand. while you're in it, you don't feel the sunburn right away. you only feel it afterwards. 

i got burned a while back. you don't even realize how much that sun is burning you until later on.

Seventeen-year-old Emilia Azarova, from North West London, travelled to the island of Koh Samui on 13 June for a Muay Thai competition. Eager to bask in the sun, the law student went for a two-hour ocean swim, neglecting to apply sun cream.

 

"I didn’t feel hot in the water, so I thought I was safe," Emilia explained. "But as soon as I got out, my lips were swollen like I'd had filler."

 

The following day, Emilia awoke with painful facial swelling. Initially dismissing it as a minor burn, her condition rapidly deteriorated.

 

"My face felt so painful I couldn’t even move it. Blisters appeared on my forehead, nose, and chin, and the pain was excruciating," she recalled.

Incredible! Amazing! A true UK bimbo! 😂

Probably best to avoid the crappy sunscreens on the market which have harmful chemicals.

The reaction of the sun with these harmful chemicals probably exarcebates cancer risk.

 

Just stay in the sun not long enough to get burned. 

 

exactly !

we need to be out in the sun .....

 

Life itself requires a certain fundamental intelligence

Easy enough on todays technology. My phone gives UV index, Humidity, Wind, Sunrise & Sunset in addition to the weather in general.

You never can tell. She might be one of those people who actually know how to use punctuation when writing.

I share her pain.

 

Long sleeves, long pants and stayed in the shade but I neglected my feet with regular sandals. 2nd degree burns, blisters and swollen as if I had gout. You learn that lesson once and it's enough. 

she paid 500 baht for blister cream and a sun hat from 7/11

I played songkran without sun protection – wet and didn't feel the burning thing up there above the fluffy white things – however, I'm extremely disappointed that all my sufferings didn't make it to the news...

She should also have spent some money on glasses, to observe that her skin developed a red hue... That always makes me seek shelter inside. 😆 

She has a very Russian name considering that she is British. I guess irrelevant to getting sun burn

Thanks. I also share her pain and like your good self I also neglected my feet whilst the rest of my body was fully clothed. 

I went sea fishing from rocks on a beach near Mombasa in Kenya. I rolled up my jeans to my knees and suffered the consequences - blisters hanging from my ankles like bunches of grapes! After a couple of days of calamine lotion the pain began to ease.

A British teenager's dream holiday in Thailand quickly turned into a distressing ordeal after she suffered severe sunburn on her first day.

 

Seventeen-year-old Emilia Azarova, from North West London, travelled to the island of Koh Samui on 13 June for a Muay Thai competition. Eager to bask in the sun, the law student went for a two-hour ocean swim, neglecting to apply sun cream.

 

"I didn’t feel hot in the water, so I thought I was safe," Emilia explained. "But as soon as I got out, my lips were swollen like I'd had filler."

 

The following day, Emilia awoke with painful facial swelling. Initially dismissing it as a minor burn, her condition rapidly deteriorated.

 

"My face felt so painful I couldn’t even move it. Blisters appeared on my forehead, nose, and chin, and the pain was excruciating," she recalled.

 

This unexpected twist meant Emilia had to abandon her intensive training schedule for the competition. Seeking medical assistance, she was treated at a local hospital where she received an injection to reduce swelling and cream for the blisters.

 

"The blisters subsided the next day, but my skin was left peeling and sore," she shared. "Even moving my face was painful."

 

The incident marred a week of her trip and thwarted her training plans. However, Emilia is now determined to highlight the underestimated dangers of sun exposure, particularly for those accustomed to tanning.

"I used sunbeds before coming here, thinking I'd be fine. This has completely changed my approach to sun safety."

 

She now takes comprehensive precautions before venturing outdoors.

 

"I won’t leave my apartment without a shirt, a cap, and three layers of sun cream. I don’t care if I'm sweating; I won’t risk it again."

 

Emilia emphasises the intensity of the sun in tropical regions and urges travellers to be vigilant.

 

"You see Thai people wearing jumpers and covering up; it shows how strong the sun is. Even if it feels cool, the rays are intense. I recommend long clothes, hats, and proper sun protection. Don’t wait until it’s too late."

 

This costly lesson, costing Emilia valuable time and a hospital visit amounting to approximately 500 Thai Baht, serves as a crucial reminder of the sun’s hidden threats.

 

Stay informed and prioritise sun safety – a slip can turn a dream holiday into a nightmare.

500 baht is pretty cheap for a hospital visit in Koh Samui!

Why do so many people think that ultra violet light has anything to do with heat? Worst sunburn I ever had was while spring skiing.
