Medical experts identify warning signs of severe sunburn
Medical experts, including Dr. Luis Tejedor of Hospital Universitario Vithas Madrid Arturo Soria, are highlighting the critical signs that distinguish mild sunburn from severe cases requiring urgent medical attention.
While most sunburns are minor and resolve with basic care, severe cases are characterized by extensive blistering, intense pain, fever, chills, and general malaise. Complications that necessitate emergency care include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and signs of dehydration.
Blistering is a particular concern as it indicates deep skin damage and increases the risk of infection, permanent scarring, and pigment changes. Failure to properly treat severe burns can lead to skin infections and increases the long-term risk of developing skin cancer due to cumulative damage.
