One day after my dermatology visit I woke up looking like this fellow's twin sister. I'm a bit redder in the face, and not as cheerful. I could barely open my eyes. Forgive me for not posting a real life pic.
It's upsetting, of course, but I pulled my hair back, slathered on the medicated lotion, and smiled at myself in the mirror. I might be a little hideous for the next 5 to 7 days, but I'm fighting skin cancer again. And just like the last time, I'm going to win. :)

Just put on a big pair of dark glasses and if anyone asks, tell them it's the price of beauty! :)
Ouchie! It won't be for too long though, will it?
Exactly. Helps that I don't have to go anywhere. :)
The redness, swelling and peeling should be resolved in about a week, and total recovery is supposed to be three to four weeks. I've had worse sunburns, so it's not horribly bad. I'm just red as a tomato. :)
