+1, I once got a really bad sunburn in Bali towards the end of my holiday. I flew back to the states via BKK > NRT > LAX (if I remember correctly). I had sought medical attention before I left Bali, but by time I boarded the flight to LAX, I had a blister the size of a golf ball on one of my arms. When my dermatologist lanced it, nothing but clear fluid came out. What likely happened in this instance was that it was the mother of all zits.
