Sunburn is caused by too much exposure to the sun. The sun’s ultraviolet light includes UVB (burning ray) and UVA (tanning ray) light wavelengths. UVA is what causes skin damage, including skin cancer, advanced aging and wrinkling. Cool drinks should be taken to replenish body fluids, blisters should not be burst but skin discomfort should be alleviated with either a moisturizing cream or calamine lotion.
More severe sunburn needs to be treated as burns. This means that the burnt area should be immersed in cold water and kept there for as long as possible – certainly, at least ten minutes. Medical help should be sought if the burn is severe, widespread, or accompanied by any other symptoms.
