Sunburn is a chronic condition characterized by skin damage from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It is assessed by SI. The primary symptoms include sunburn, which is the visible manifestation of skin damage. When sunburn symptoms worsen or persist, it is advisable to seek care from a qualified clinician to confirm or rule out sunburn. Diagnosis involves observing the sunburned skin and performing a physical examination. Treatment is typically managed by a clinician, who may recommend cool, fluid intake, analgesics, and sun protection measures. There are no specific dosing instructions provided for treatment. The care and treatment of sunburn are guided by clinical guidelines, such as NICE NG34, which emphasize the importance of sun protection.
