burning bath

I took a bath in a sunlit room with high windows and a skylight. I was in the bath for about an hour, enjoying the calming water. When I emerged, I walked out of the bathroom wearing a towel. Some people gasped, looking at my naked arms and legs. I looked down and could see that my skin was burnt where it had been immersed in the water. It was quite pink and raw and the top layer of skin was peeling back in sections. I thought it best to ask my brother to photograph the burns so that I could produce evidence should I need to, before calling a doctor. Someone commented that I must be upset, particularly as I was due to be married the next day.
