Causes and risk factors
Spending too long in intense sun unprotected; pale skin, midday rays, glare from water and sand and some medicines all increase the chance.
How sunburn feels
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Red, hot and tender skin
- Pain and tightness
- Swelling and blisters in more severe cases
Understanding sunburn
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
