But not each time I get a sunburn thats bad. Now each time I mention this, people go "oh yeah my skin gets itchy too" but I am describing something else.

all sunburns and irritable and itch. Mine do, too, but once in a while with a bad burn my skin will itch like crazy, where I cant do anything except try to find relief(nothing relieves this really) until it goes away. it comes in waves lasting like 20 minutes apiece. Its like having the extreme sensation of an itch, but all over the affected area, almost to the point where it hurts. It drive you crazy.

I have no idea what the medical term for this is, but informally its called the Hell's Itch. It doesnt even happen immediately so 1-2 days later it could crop up.

Apparently not everybody, even every pale and pasty person like myself gets this.
