What Is Sunburn?
Sunburn is skin damage caused by too much ultraviolet light from the sun. The skin turns red, hot and painful within hours, and may blister and peel in the days that follow.

- Red, hot and tender skin
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Peeling skin a few days later

- Swelling and blisters in more intense cases
Why Sunburn Happens
Too much time in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection from sea and sand, and certain medicines make burning more likely.
