Sunburn little pimples/bumps?

my brother got a really bad sunburn on his back. my mom only put sunscreen on part of his back. so the part with sunscreen is white but the rest is sunburnt. its been three days and tiny pimples/bumps has appeared. mostly on the white part (the part that had sunscreen)

what is it? how do u treat it?

my parents said its because of heat and they had it when they were in china sometimes and said itll go away in 2 or 3 days. i dont know though. im worried. is it something bad

Answer:
That happened to me after spending a day at the water park from 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock with no sunscreen. It was very painful for, like your parents said, 2 - 3 days. I did have little bumps pimple type things but it wasn't actually acne. A friend of mine told me it was either a really harsh sunburn (duh) or mild sun poisoning. Sun poisoning sounds deadly and scary but it's just a harsher form of sun harm to your skin. I wouldn't be worried because the skin is our best protector and is very good at healing. Just be ready for some extreme paling and pinkness (My shoulder's look a little burnt still and it's been 3 weeks). Make sure to use aloe or other skin healing lotions to relieve the pain and help the healing process.
there's a very remote chance that it might be a type of skin cancer. If it's caught early it should be curable because it doesn't sound like melanoma so it could be squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma. it's probably not, but there is a chance, so see a dermatologist if it doesn't go away in a few days.
I'm an Aussie we get sunburnt all the time. The best way to treat sunburn is to have cold showers it draws the heat out of the skin, and vitamine E cream... its great for the repair and keeping it strong.
Those pimple buggle things is where the skin has become blistered from too much cooking. You may not realise but humans are meat too. Too much heat and we blister. Its just going to flake off and leave the skin normal but use a moisturiser or it'll start to itch.
