a friend posted this on facebook yesterday. this is from a sunburn.




years ago a guy on TCW posted this. he had fallen asleep on his laptop charger.



before that^ I had never seen anything like this, and have since been mesmerized/horrified. have y'all ever had these yellow "blisters"?

you live in a bubble?

I had a wart on my shin that I had to freeze off. It looked almost exactly like that second pic. It was gross but now you can't even tell it was there. I've got a pic but not with me.

this is how Sunny Delight is made

^^^because I have never seen disgusting blisters the size and color of lemons, I must live in a bubble? please, enlighten me to your plight. pics would be appreciated.

9/17/2014 10:38:08 AM

This is gross I cant imagine getting sunburn that bad. I got a pretty bad one this weekend that is painful but nowhere near something like this.

9/17/2014 10:44:59 AM

yea I've had that happen. that is why I do not bother trying to go out and get a tan or anything

fuck all that nonsense. I rock the vampy porcelain look.

I was assuming that seeing burn blisters like that had to be somewhat common.

the first picture is what i look like when i get poison ivy

9/17/2014 11:02:33 AM

^^I just don't get it. have you had these before? have you seen them on other people?

I *don't* live in a bubble, which is precisely why I don't understand your comment. I've seen a lot of shit in my day, IRL and on the 'nets, and outside of these two instances, I've never seen nor heard of these wretched things.

9/17/2014 11:07:02 AM

i thought these were a normal thing that every kid got at least once during their childhood before learning their lesson and listening to their parents instructions to put on some more sunscreen? are there really people who never get a sever sunburn with blisters at any point in their life? maybe people in the middle of the country who don't grow up going to the beach every year?

I'm pretty white, I have always been an outdoor person, and I have never gotten a sunburn blister. Other burn blisters, yes. I just got one a few weeks ago. But from a sunburn? No.

I have burned really badly before, but I just look lobsterish for a few days, and then it all peels off.

9/17/2014 11:20:10 AM

^ ditto to all that. I have gotten sun poisoning before and never had blisters.

9/17/2014 11:31:07 AM

I got this on the back of my legs during a childhood beach trip (I was probably around 8)

9/17/2014 11:33:53 AM

The only time I've ever got blisters was when firework ashes fell on my shoulder. That shit hurt.

I have had many severe sunburns, one of which I had teeny tiny little blisters (I'm talking the size of a chia seed or something) that "popped" when I scratched them .

I have never in my life seen or had a huge yellow blister (like the ones pictured). Have you???

9/17/2014 11:39:33 AM

yes, of course i've had them, i grew up as a kid who loved sun and water

9/17/2014 11:41:39 AM

I never wore sunscreen as a kid and never even got remotely close to something like that.

9/17/2014 11:50:12 AM

no, those big blisters are not normal

regardless of what dumbshit dtownral claims is common knowledge

9/17/2014 11:59:56 AM

i guess you nerds just spent too much time inside playing nintendo and getting fat

9/17/2014 12:28:09 PM

okay, so you're just trolling.

9/17/2014 12:30:17 PM

no, sunburn blisters are pretty normal. i bet you can google it on your own to confirm that. they are called 2nd degree sunburns (at least colloquially in NC they are)

[Edited on September 17, 2014 at 12:36 PM. Reason : .]

9/17/2014 12:33:46 PM

they still aren't normal.

9/17/2014 1:04:54 PM

"not at all uncommon" would have been a better description

9/17/2014 1:05:47 PM

blisters like slappy described (tiny) are common

giant yellow blisters that look like the result of a mustard gas are not

please shut the fuck up

9/17/2014 1:37:47 PM

i'd like to see your statistics

9/17/2014 1:47:04 PM

my original statement was more or less sarcastic... and this is CC last time I checked.

I agree with dtownral on all statements so far in this thread.

9/17/2014 3:19:04 PM

I really wanna pop those.

9/17/2014 3:22:17 PM

I really, really wish I hadn't done a GIS for "sunburn blister"

9/17/2014 4:09:50 PM

even if you do GIS this the blisters in question are 1 every 30 pics

the other 29 being the tiny common blisters or people (somehow) burned to the bone

still not common

the only time ive seen blisters like that were when someone touched their leg to a sidepipe on a cobra replica
