My left arm got sunburned yesterday from driving round for 4 hours with the window down. It looks pretty stupid, but no chills.

Your skin is the largest organ in/of your body. If you damage it, it's going to make you feel sick as hell for a while.

Don't worry, every time I've been burned, I've felt like you feel right now... it'll pass once your skin returns to 'normal'.

You should have stuck half your face out the window too so that you could look like the dude from Close Encounters! ;)

Drink lots of water. Your skin is dried out, so your body needs more water.

if it's really really red it's probably sun poisoning.. it happens... use lots of healing lotion to get the skin back to normal.... and drink lots of water.. good suggestion too... and next time drive with the AC on :D

Use Aloe Vera- great stuff!

That's strange though, usually when I burn I feel too hot and need an AC blowing on me to keep me cool and comfortable. I guess it's a pretty serious burn if you are feeling cold
