Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Sunburn

Sunburn

Sunburn is a form of red, sometimes swollen and painful skin caused by overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun or artificial sources. Sunburn can vary from mild to severe. In some cases, sunburn can cause the skin to blister. The extent depends on skin type and amount of exposure to the sun. The greatest risk is at solar noon when the sun is directly above you.

Sunburn is a serious risk factor for skin cancer.
