Can you have a sunburn that doesn't turn red?

Question

So I went to the beach and I put on a lot of SPF 100 but somehow even though I was only there for like two hours I still got burnt. The only issue is that my sunburn isn't even red it feels like I'm burnt but I don't have the redness at all. The rest of my family got red from it but I'm not 😕. Is that even possible?

Answer

I'm Puerto Rican, my shoulders get burnt and I can feel it, but I never turn red, ever. So yes, you can burn without turning red.

Answer

Well, sun screen is to be applied 15-30 mins before going into the sun, then again when you're in the sun and periodically there after. Also, if I recall correctly, anything above SPF 30 is essentially a waste because it's like putting on a shirt...then another shirt( if that makes sense). Yes, it is possible for your skin to feel tight and sensitive after sun exposure without becoming red, but this is not often. If you're skin feels warm to the touch( much like a sunburn) it is possible that the epidermis was almost sun burnt so it is irritated.
