Sunburn occurs when the skin is exposed to intense sunlight. The skin surface, where acute inflammation occurs, becomes sensitive and stretched. In addition, a visible color change occurs in the skin complexion. In general, individuals and children with light skin color are in risk groups for burns. For this reason, fair-skinned individuals and especially children should use protective accessories such as hats and sunglasses when going out in the sun and should not neglect to apply sunscreen.

A mild sunburn will only cause redness, while severe burns can cause blisters and scarring when healed. Sunburn can also be caused by an artificial light source such as a solarium.
