EBN- Sunburn is skin burns resulting from exposure to ultraviolet B rays, especially in the summer, without applying the required prevention methods.
It is necessary to follow the instructions of doctors, health authorities, and caregivers on these prevention methods to protect the skin from burns and skin cancer later.
Here are the types of burns, methods of treating sunburn quickly, and preventive methods :
A burn can have three levels of increasing severity:
First degree burns, which are the most common sunburns that occur between 6 and 24 hours of exposure to sunlight, where the skin becomes bright red, hot, and painful, and slight edema is observed in the skin that turns white when pressed with the finger.
Second degree burns appear quickly after exposure to sunlight and form blisters on red, hot, painful skin.
Third-degree burns are the deepest and most dangerous, which reflect the destruction of the epidermis and superficial dermis, and blisters with a transparent liquid appear on the white kin, accompanied by pain.
