Sun burn???
What the OP is describing does not sound at all like a "normal" sunburn. In people with sensitive skin, exposure to sun for prolonged periods can result in a type of allergic reaction rather than a sunburn. This is characterized by red raised "bumps" on the exposed skin, which ate somewhat itchy and painful to the touch.
In addition, thre are a number of uncommon disease states which cause extreme reactions to bright sun. There are also a number of prescription medications which make the skin very, very sensitive to sunlight. Persons on such medications are often advised to stay out of any direct sun.
Please check with your doctor or dermatologist to be on the safe side. Do not rely on this website for advice on medical issues.
