Second Degree Sunburn

Also known as "I'm a human lobster," second degree sunburn is a condition that's sure to ruin every summer BBQ and beach vacation. It's like a bad tan, but without the tan.

Causes:

Caused by: excessive sun exposure, poor sunscreen choices, and a general disregard for human skin's pleas to "STOP, I'M ON FIRE!"

Warning: second degree sunburn can lead to blistering, swelling, and an increased risk of spontaneous combustion (just kidding, but seriously, don't do that).

Treatment:

For a second degree sunburn, seek shade, take cool baths, and slap on some aloe vera. Repeat: SLAP. ON. SOME. ALOE. VERA.

Or, you know, just Google "second degree sunburn treatment" and pretend you're not actually reading about sunburn.
