What Do Your Sunburns Mean?

June 5, 2019
First things first: there are two types of sunburns, both caused by UV Rays, and the deeper the burn, the more severe the damage.
First-degree burns: reddens the skin and feels painful, but only affects the outer layer of skin.
Second-degree burns: turn bright red and produce blisters, causing harm to the nerves and the deeper layer of skin.
✔️For people between the ages of 15 and 20: 1-4 sunburns increase Melanoma risk by about 60%
✔️ 5+ sunburns increase melanoma risk by 80%
