I forget what its called but when a large portion of your body is badly badly burned it shocks the fuck out of your immune system. its not different than actual 3rd degree burns. then on top of that they can easily get infected and turn septic if not closely maintained. people have this notion of "oh its just a sunburn...itll just hurt for a bit" but if its SEVERE it can actually kill you in a days. no cancer down the road required.Coming from someone that pale he might get skin cancer eventually but the guy lacks any moles so probably is in the clear. He’s not going to die of sun burn or anything lol, his torso and legs didn’t even get burnt.
I've never been one to use sunscreen. ever. I remember years back though I spent the entire day on an island and for whatever reason, the top of my back and shoulders got BADLY burned. it hurt for weeks.
to this day, somewhere around 6 years later, the back of my shoulders still peel. if I rub my hand against the skin, I can get little clumps of dead skin cells from that burn. one bad burn still having an affect many years later.
I also used to abuse a tanning bed tho too. fuck it
