ok this summer i went to the caribbean for like 8 days. i have never burned in my life, but i burned this time because i didnt wear enough sunscreen. i got these little tiny bubble-like things on my burns, and it looked like sun poisoning but it wasnt (it didnt hurt&it just peeled off) i think thas just that was i peel. but i ride horses, and everytime i come back from riding i have these little bumps again... not even where i was burned! like little sweat bubbles or something... when i rub my skin they go away and i just peel... this keeps happening--i ride my horse every day--im not allergic (ive been around horses my whole life) but could it just be the physical activity? or the dirt or something? 5 for good answers...
MintCure answered Saturday July 2 2005, 4:20 pm: The peeling thing is normal with bad sunburn... and the bumps from riding the horse is probably just a contact rash of some sort, completely unconnected. If you're that worried, see a doctor. [ MintCure's advice column | Ask MintCure A Question ]

But if its red and due to being in the sun, just wait and stay out of the sun, and it probably will peel. Hope that helped. [ blondebaby1016's advice column | Ask blondebaby1016 A Question ]

The point is that I was in the sun every day from 7-8 am until 3-5 pm.
Being in the sun everyday, I started to get burned, and tan. I don't remember it hurting, but I do remember looking at my arms one day and seeing little bubble like bumps. Like you've described, they basically just peeled away. But a few hours later, after being in the sun more, they came back.
They didn't hurt or anything, and I always just assumed that they were heat or sun rash. From being in the sun too much.
I would suggest covering those areas up when you go out in the sun for long periods of time. If you can't cover them with clothing, then at least use a high spf sunscreen. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]
