Oh, it's extensive alright. I called one of those Ask-A-Nurse things when I got out of bed on Saturday night and the muscles in my legs started shaking and felt like they were on fire. They said I was describing the symptoms of 3rd degree burns--shins, calves, shoulders, stomach and chest. Apparently, I burned all the way through the first layer of skin to the subcutaneous stuff and the pressure was doing something to the muscles. Stupid. But no steroids or Silvadine cream. Finished with the liquid aloe juice/gel. Just oatmeal baths and oatmeal lotion. Definitely staying out of the sun!
**Note--The Ask-A-Nurse stated that if aloe is used beyond the first few days it will end up drying out the skin. Switch to oatmeal or calendula based lotions. I thought the tattoo artist that told me that years ago was full of crap.
