Painful experience after bathing? (7)
I believe the answer is:
sunburn
'painful experience after bathing?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'experience after bathing?' is the wordplay.
'experience' becomes 'burn' (burning is a kind of experiencing).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'bathing?' becomes 'sun' (sun bathing is a kind of bathing).
'burn' put after 'sun' is 'SUNBURN'.
(Other definitions for sunburn that I've seen before include "Solar skin damage" , "Effect of too much UV" , "Redness of the skin caused by solar rays" , "Tan (or unsuccessful attempt at it)" , "Redness caused by exposure to the source of heat" .)
