There is no need to worry about blisters after sunburn. However, some seemingly ordinary sunburn phenomena are caused by skin allergies, such as solar dermatitis, acute phototoxic dermatitis, etc. Most of them are due to strong sunlight exposure to local skin, followed by acute redness and swelling of the skin, and even blisters.

Exposure to sunlight can also induce a photoallergic skin disease - polymorphic light eruption, which is much more serious than ordinary sunburn. Polymorphous light eruption usually occurs several hours to 5 days after sun exposure. Patches of erythema, edema, papules, and papulovesicles appear on the exposed parts, and there may even be erosion or exudation. In severe cases, there may be symptoms of fever and chills, and it takes about a week to recover.

After the sunburn is relieved, to prevent the skin from becoming dry, tight, or even cracked and unable to apply makeup, it is time to replenish moisture: first, use a foaming facial cream to moisturize while bathing, and then rinse it off after a period of time. Then, apply a moisturizing lotion containing moisturizing ingredients on your face and gently press your face with your palms to promote the skin's absorption of moisture. After doing this a few times, your skin will regain its original moisturizing ability.

The above is some knowledge about sunburn and blisters. After sunburn and blisters occur, timely treatment and improvement measures should be taken. However, the best way is to take some good sun protection measures in advance, so that you can effectively avoid sunburn and blisters, and you don’t have to worry about your skin condition getting worse.
