Sunburn refers to the burn to the living tissues on the surface of your skin. The sun radiates ultraviolet (UV) rays that your skin can only tolerate to a certain extent. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can result in skin tanning or sunburn. Sunburn is different from a skin tan because your skin often becomes reddish and painful to touch in this condition. Repeated exposure to UV radiation does not only cause sunburn but also increases the risk of other skin-related conditions, including skin cancer. Sunburn can be treated by using home remedies or topical medications.
