What Is Sunburn?
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.

Too long in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection off sea and sand and certain medicines make burning likelier.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Pain and tightness
- Peeling skin a few days later
- Swelling and blisters in more intense cases
- Red, hot and tender skin
