Causes and risk factors
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.
Sunburn explained
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.
Symptoms of sunburn
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Red, hot and tender skin
- Peeling skin a few days later

Moda: local notes for sunburn
A night out in Moda often ends with dehydration, a sore throat or a twisted ankle by morning. Close by are Bagdat Caddesi, Cihangir, Sirkeci, which share the same medical services. Daytime sun followed by alcohol at night makes dehydration and burns worse. Cool the skin, drink water and avoid more sun.
