If you thought it was blistering skin, you are right!
These blisters are not caused by sun poisoning, those tend be more yellowish and follow extreme sunburn. This blistering happens a few days after you get a mild sunburn. The sunburn kills the tops layers of your skin and this "bubbling" of the skin is the first step in the peeling process. Moisture and heat become trapped under the dead layers of skin forming tiny bubbles on your skin.
These little blisters don't hurt though because they're filled with air, not liquid. They do, however, make your skin really itchy. Don't pick at your skin since this will expose the new skin before it is ready. Instead, moisturize your skin multiple times daily.
Fit's Tips: To speed up the shedding process and combat the itch, I like to gently exfoliate in the shower with moisturizing soap and bath gloves. Then when you get out of the shower, while your skin is still damp, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

I had this once! man I was so scraed I was allergic to the sun.. but it faded away eventually...
1Ooh, I thought a sweaty skin..
2Ew. I thought it was sweaty skin too!
3Thank God I have never had such a bad sunburn!
4I thought sweaty skin.
I haven't had this before, but I have had the sun poisoning kind and it is NOT fun.
5i thought it was sweat or water from a pool or shower or something...
6I think I just threw up a lil bit
7I thought it was sweat..like everybody else! lol
8sweat or a wet orange lol....but blisters, eww!
9ew i just thought it was sweat and reading about this nasty stuff is making me feel nauseus(can never spell that word)thank god my skin doesnt get burned i get goergous tans
10i got it right..its happened to me more than once!
11Yikes!! I'm glad I use sunscreen!!!!
12I only recognized the sunpoisoning because I've seen it on a pale-skinned, horribly sunburned friend before
.
13I have had this a few times. It is the most uncomfortable thing to happen when you have a sunburn.
14I've had this several times. My back is covered with it right now. Those blisters certainly are filled with liquid . . . when popped, smashed, or poked with a pin, they leak fluid. It hurts like crazy.
15my shoulders had that one them and i didnt even notice, my shoulder itched and i went to scratch it and it was wet after so i started peeling off all of the dead skin and used a paper towel to wipe off the liquid. but now it itches like crazy!
16I came across this and I'm relieved to know that I don't have sun poisoning. This helped a lot so, thank you to whomever posted it.
17im still worried..i just got them on my sholders and a little on the back of my neck..how long do they last. pleese help
18i have these right now i already knew what they were.... lol this explains a lot cuz i was out in the sun like over a week ago and im still getting this same kind of blisters i just didnt know why they were showing up so long after but now that i know i feel a lot better!!!!!
19and dont worry just be nice to them, you will be fine
20I have never had these blisters happen to me before and I am not a stranger to the summer sun. But this year is different I guess. I put sunblock on & forgot my shoulders. I didnt even feel I was burned till it was too late. Ok I got burned, been burned before, but then 4 days later these bumps appeared & I freaked. So I looked on the web now I feel a little better that other people have had them. I just feel so bad for my skin.
