Sunburn Treatment in West Orange, NJ

Sunburns are common, acute inflammatory responses to the skin being exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR).

Some risk factors of getting sunburned include:

• Duration of exposure
• Height of the sun – greatest exposure is midday, around noon
• Lack of protective sunscreen or clothing
• Lighter skin pigmentation
• Taking medications that can heighten the risk of sunburn

While most sunburns are normal and heal easily with home treatment, a severe sunburn might need the evaluation of a physician. Some signs you should bring to the attention of a physician if you have a sunburn include blistering, excessive peeling, chills, fever, or dizziness.
