About 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.
How sunburn feels
- Swelling and blisters in more intense cases
- Red, hot and tender skin
- Peeling skin a few days later
- Pain and tightness
What can cause sunburn
Too long in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection off sea and sand and certain medicines make burning likelier.

How sunburn is treated
The doctor views the skin on camera, judges the depth of the burn, advises on pain relief and skin care and prescribes treatment if suitable. Typical choices are cooling gels, moisturisers, painkillers and, for intense burns, a stronger steroid cream.
