Long-Term Effects and Risks
1. Skin Damage : Repeated sunburns can cause cumulative damage to the skin. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun penetrate the skin and can harm the DNA in skin cells. Over time, this damage may manifest as changes in skin texture, color, and elasticity.
Understanding Burn Severity
1. First-Degree Burns: Superficial burns affecting only the outer layer of the skin. Common symptoms include redness, mild swelling, and pain. Typically heal on their own without significant medical intervention.
Treatment for Sunburn

Long-Term Effects and Risks
2. Premature Aging: Sunburn accelerates the aging process of the skin. Chronic exposure to UV rays can lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This can result in premature wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
