    Sunburn
    Long story short... 5 hours of drunken river tubing with minimal sunblock. From about an inch above my ankle to my knee is fried... but that's not really the issue. My ankles and feet have swollen so much it's hard to walk on them...

    I was thinking about going to the hospital... and I read some stuff about it, saying to elevate them, etc...

    Anybody have any experience with this?. it sucks.

    Elevate the feet, and aloe.

    It's blistering, and is honestly probably the worst sunburn I've seen. My girlfriend thinks I should go to the hospital... do you think it's necissary?

    Going to the hospital couldn't hurt.
