Q & A

What is the main cause of sunburn?

Sunburn occurs due to overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, which damage the skin, causing inflammation and discomfort.

Why are people with fair skin more prone to sunburn?

People with fair skin have less melanin, the pigment that helps protect the skin from UV radiation. As a result, they are more susceptible to sunburn than those with darker skin.

How long after sun exposure do the signs of sunburn typically appear?

Signs of sunburn usually appear 6 to 12 hours after exposure to UV rays, and may peak between 12 and 24 hours.

What are the common symptoms of sunburn?

The first step is to take a cool shower with mild soap to soothe the skin. Avoid scrubbing the skin and gently pat it dry with a towel to keep it slightly moist.

Can using ice directly on sunburned skin help?

No, applying ice directly to sunburned skin can cause irritation. It’s recommended to use a cold compress instead, with a cloth between the ice and the skin.

Why is staying hydrated important when you have sunburn?

Staying hydrated is crucial because sunburn draws moisture from your skin. Drinking water helps prevent dehydration and supports the healing process.

Should you pop blisters that form after a sunburn?

No, you should avoid popping blisters. Blisters contain protective fluid that helps the skin heal. Popping them can lead to infection and delay healing.
