Nasty: 20-yr-old man gets severe second degree burns after not using suncream in the heatwave




20-yr-old Greg Binnie from Edinburgh, Scotland ended up with quite a nasty burn after the astonishing weather we’ve luckily had over the past 10 days.

The young man is a gardener and was working outside in the scorching heat over the weekend, cutting grass and watering plants in Scotland.

But he underestimated how strong the sun would be in Dumfries and thought it would be okay to go without suncream.

Greg realised the extent of the damage on Sunday night when his shoulders started blistering and posted the images online.
The generally pale man was working overtime to pay for a holiday with his pals in Ibiza this summer. He has been recovering in bed all week and is off work until next Monday.

The pictures went viral as a warning that you should always wear suncream irrespective of how much sun is actually shining as it can break right through cloud cover.
