I was out at the lake for a couple hours yesterday and forgot to put sunscreen on my legs resulting in sunburn on my thigh and shins... my legs are very red and they have little red dots especially on my shins and I m worried that it might be something serious. The sunburn hurts very badly and I tried to put loose pants on to shield any sun that might additionally hurt my skin because any amount of sunlight burns my legs, but even wearing pants hurt because it touches my legs.... HELP! What are the red dots and why does this sunburn specifically hurt so badly! I ve never had severe sunburn, let alone these little red bumps.
