No scratching, yes to the beach but don't forget the cream
If after a too intensive session under UV rays you have the infamous erythema you will need to, needless to say, stay away from the sun for a few days. If you really can't resist at the hotel, go to the beach but stay in the shade and splash your sunscreen anyway (SPF 50+) as the rays also filter under the umbrella.
It is also forbidden to scratch - you would make the situation worse - and not to scrub or peel. Only when the erythema has completely disappeared (usually it takes 4 or 5 days) will you be able to expose yourself to the sun again, gradually, avoiding the hottest hours and ALWAYS with protection, especially on the affected area - it is not said that the erythema can't come back!
