Hi everyone I'm a newbie.. :wave:

I'm a very light skinned girl... and everytime I go to the pool/beach I get a heavy suburn (vomits, fiber included)all over my body...this keeps happening to me year after year.. I wear a sunscreen spf 85, but I get burn ayways...now I have a sun trauma, I only go out when the sun is setting...I'm like a bat heh

now it's summer time here in argentina, and I don't know what to do to get out of my house by day.. one friend said that I could take some tanning pills but I think that it only gives my skin some color, not uva/ub protection...

One of the worst things is that my boyfriend and friends always go to the pool in summer, and they don't get heavy sunburns !.. my boyfriend is light skinned as me , he was all day in the pool and got a sunburn (of course), but he didn't vomit or had fiber afterwards....his mom put some lotion on him and he was allright....I went that day to the pool too, but I stood under an umbrella the WHOLE day and I DID got a severe sunburn....! I felt like an alien...

please can anyone help me I don't know what to do to get out in the day...it's been a long long time since I had some fun in the sun... :(

thanks a lot!

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the sun, or to your sunscreen. You might want to see your doctor to rule out allergy and to get a prescription for something to protect you from the UVA/UVB rays. These rays are there whether it is a cloudy day or a sunny day.
