Sunburn

Sunburn is an excessive exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation that causes a sunburn. Sunburn is a type of skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays that damage the skin and can cause redness, pain, and swelling. It can also cause blisters, or in extreme cases, skin cancer. Sunburn is most commonly caused by too much exposure to the sun without wearing appropriate protective clothing or sunscreen. UV radiation from the sun can cause long-term skin damage, including wrinkles, age spots, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Sunburns can be especially severe in people with light skin, as they have a lower natural protection from the sun's UV rays. Sunburns can be prevented by wearing protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.
