What are the definitions of mild and severe sunburns? What are their symptoms and signs?
- Sunburn is the result of too much exposure to the sun, or a sun-equivalent (such as a tanning bed or other UV source).
- To prevent sunburn:
- Stay out of the sun
- Cover your skin
- Wear protective eyewear
- When in the sun (you can get burned even if it's cloudy) use SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or higher
- Avoid tanning beds
- If you are sunburned, stay out of the run until the burn fades. Drink lots of water, sports drinks, or juice to stay hydrated, and keep your house cool using air conditioning or fans.
