Common Triggers
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.
Understanding Sunburn
Sunburn is damage to the skin from too much ultraviolet light. The skin goes red, hot and sore within hours and may blister and peel over the following days.
