Index Sunburn For Teenagers What is a sunburn? A sunburn is the burning, redness, or blistering of the skin caused by overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun or a sunlamp. Most people have been sunburned many times. Vacations can quickly turn into painful experiences when the power of the sun is overlooked. Unfortunately, the symptoms of sunburn do not begin until 2 to 4 hours after the sun's damage has been done. The peak reaction of redness, pain, and swelling is not seen for 24 hours. Minor sunburn is a first-degree burn which turns the skin pink or red. Prolonged sun exposure can cause blistering and a second-degree burn. Sunburn never causes a third-degree burn or scarring. Repeated sun exposure and suntans cause premature aging of the skin (wrinkling, sagging, and brown sunspots). Repeated sunburns increase the risk of skin cancer in the damaged area. Each blistering sunburn doubles the risk of developing malignant melanoma, which is the most serious type of skin cancer. How can I take care of myself?

46. Understanding SPF On Sunscreens As the SPF value increases, sunburn protection increases. For example, consumers know that SPF 30 sunscreens provide more sunburn protection than SPF 8 http://www.fda.gov/cder/offices/OTC/understanding_spf_sunscreen.htm

FDA Home Page CDER Home Page CDER Site Info Contact CDER ... What's New @ CDER Search Sunburn Protection Factor (SPF) SPF is a measure of how much solar energy (UV radiation) is required to produce sunburn on protected skin (i.e., in the presence of sunscreen) relative to the amount of solar energy required to produce sunburn on unprotected skin. As the SPF value increases, sunburn protection increases. There is a popular misconception that SPF relates to time of solar exposure. For example, many consumers believe that, if they normally get sunburn in one hour, then an SPF 15 sunscreen allows them to stay in the sun 15 hours (i.e., 15 times longer) without getting sunburn. This is not true because SPF is not directly related to time of solar exposure but to amount of solar exposure. Although solar energy amount is related to solar exposure time, there are other factors that impact the amount of solar energy. For example, the intensity of the solar energy impacts the amount. The following exposures may result in the same amount of solar energy: one hour at 9:00 a.m.

The amount of sun exposure required to produce a burn varies with each person's pigmentation and ability to produce more melanin. Sunburn results in painful reddened skin. Severe sunburn may produce swelling and blisters. Symptoms may begin as soon as 1 hour after exposure and typically reach their peak within 3 days. Some severely sunburned people develop a fever, chills, and weakness and on rare occasions even may go into shock (characterized by very low blood pressure, fainting, and profound weakness). Several days after a sunburn, people with naturally fair skin may have peeling in the burned area, usually accompanied by itching. These peeled areas are even more sensitive to sunburn for several weeks. People who have had severe sunburns when young are at greater risk of skin cancer in later years even if they have not had long-term sun exposure. Prevention Avoidance: Sunscreens: Sunscreens contain substances, such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and benzophenone, which absorb UV light. Because PABA does not immediately bind strongly to the skin, sunscreens containing PABA must be applied 30 minutes before going out in the sun or into the water. PABA may irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction in some people. Many sunscreens contain both PABA and benzophenone or other chemicals. These combination sunscreens provide protection from a broader range of UV light. Many sunscreens claim to be either waterproof or water-resistant, but most of these nonetheless require more frequent application among people who are swimming or sweating.

Science News Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark What Protects Us From Sunburn Also Protects Crayfish Against Bacteria ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2007) See also: Bacteria Microbes and More Microbiology Agriculture and Food ... Parasitism Uppsala University researchers, in collaboration with Korean and Thai colleagues, can now show that melanin also protects against bacterial infections, at least in crayfish. The production of melanin is an important protective reaction that gives us a suntan, for instance. In invertebrate animals it has long been observed that parasites, fungi, and other invaders become encapsulated in melanin. In many animals this can be seen as black-brown spots on the shell that show that the animal has had an infection. "In mosquitoes that can harbor the malaria parasite it has also been observed that the mosquito´s ability to form such melanin capsules often determines whether it will be able to spread the disease to humans," says Haipeng Liu. On the other hand, the possible effect of melanin production on bacterial infections has been intensively debated. In the current study the scientists show, by manipulating the genetic expression of the melanin-producing enzyme, that effective melanin production is crucial to the ability of freshwater crayfish to survive an infection of an extremely dangerous bacteria for them, Aeromonas hydrophila. "The findings indicate that we should upgrade the significance of the melanin reaction and that it may be worthwhile to search for further cases where it prevents bacterial growth," says Haipeng Liu.

Nearly half of the American public is exposed to unhealthy amounts of smog, according to a new report from the American Lung Association that ranked the smoggiest U.S. cities. Dr. Norman H. Edelman, a consultant with the association, said that smog can inflame and damage the lining of the lungs, leading to swelling and restricted airways. "It's like a sunburn inside your lungs," he said. This inflammation can lead to shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and chest pain, according to Edelman. It also can aggravate asthma and bring on attacks.

52. Sun Burn sunburn is the result of not using proper skin protection while sunbathing or even from routine sun exposure. The skin becomes red, tender and swollen. http://www.skinsite.com/info_sun_burn.htm

Sun Burn I. Definition: Sunburn is the result of not using proper skin protection while sunbathing or even from routine sun exposure. The skin becomes red, tender and swollen. You may have a stinging sensation and blistering may occur. Some people even get a low grade fever. The skin will eventually shed or peel, once the skin underneath has renewed itself. II. Side Effects: Excessive exposure to sunlight will cause irreversible skin damage. People who get sunburn have an increased risk of developing melanoma skin cancer. Each new sun burn increases the risk a little more. Melanoma skin cancer is very dangerous because it can spread quickly, affecting the internal organs and result in death. III. Treatment: One of the best sun burn treatments is , which can protect and repair damaging effects of the sun. A medicine called Indocin if taken soon after a sunburn will help reduce the pain, redness and swelling. Indocin is available from your doctor with a prescription. Cold creams and moisturizers will help reduce the pain associated with sunburn. Sun damage is permanent and irreversible. You should put on sun-screen or moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher everyday before leaving the house. Don't go overboard and try to avoid the sun completely.

Russia Ready to Vaporize the Jewish State And then kick America out of the Eastern Hemisphere’s oilfields joe.vialls@ntlworld.com Israeli Dolphin Class attack submarines, unwittingly provided free-of-charge by German taxpayers “When the end finally comes for Israel, it will all be over in microseconds. Flying faster than rifle bullets, the Sunburns will approach Tel Aviv and Haifa at twice the speed of sound, detonating in blinding white 200 Kiloton flashes designed to instantly transform animal vegetable and mineral into heat and light.” During the Cold War of the sixties, the only thing stopping American or Russian psychopaths from taking over the entire world was the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction [MAD], where a multiple ICBM launch by America on Russia or vice versa, would automatically lead to a “doomsday” response by the nation under attack. Mutual destruction of both America and Russia was thereby guaranteed, resulting in nearly thirty years of unprecedented peace and quiet, caused solely by mutual nuclear fear. About one month ago, Russia discreetly invoked MAD again, but this time in the Middle East in direct response to hysterical Israeli threats to nuke Iran with submarine-launched American Harpoon missiles. Quietly and with the minimum of fuss, Russia deployed its most advanced tactical nuclear missiles and crews to both Syria and Iran, thereby sending an unmistakable diplomatic signal that if Israel attacked Tehran or Damascus with nuclear weapons, Russia would in return instantly and anonymously vaporize the Jewish State.

Press information February 18, 2005 News this month Certain melanin makes skin more vulnerable to sunburn A Yale therapeutic radiologist may have helped unlock the secret of why blondes and redheads sunburn more easily. The type of melanin that causes blonde and red hair actually increases the risk for cell death such as seen in sunburn. Doctors have long thought that the lack of pigment alone in fair skin makes a person more susceptible to the damaging effects of ultraviolet sunlight. But Douglas Brash, PhD, Yale professor of therapeutic radiology, genetics and dermatology, recently completed a study that suggests the type of pigment an animal has, in addition to skin transparency, plays a large role in who burns. Hair color matters most Dr. Brash found that the type of melanin that causes blonde and red hair actually increases the risk for cell death such as seen in sunburn . Blondes and redheads have what is called pheomelanin. People with darker hair have eumelanin.

Acne Medication Enter your search terms Submit search form Web coolnurse.com Too Much Sun Symptoms of sunburn usually appear within a few hours after exposure, and up until 24 hours after exposure and peak within 2 to 3 days. Most sunburns are first-degree burns that cause the skin to become red, warm and tender to the touch. Second-degree burns are a more serious burn and can cause severe swelling, reddening, pain and blisters. Blisters are a sign that the burn has gone deeper than just the surface layer of the skin and has caused damage and the release of fluids from the cells in the lower layers of the skin. This results in bad blisters and breaks in the skin where bacteria and other organisms can enter. This is not a good situation and a person with a burn this badly should get some medical attention.

Subscribe now >> Sunburn and Sun Protection Sunburn is an inflammation of the skin that follows over exposure to ultraviolet (UV light) from the sun, sun lamps, or occupational light sources. Signs and symptoms: Red swollen, painful and sometimes blistered skin. Fever. Nausea, vomiting and delirium with severe burns. Tanning or peeling of skin after recovery. There is increased risk if you are fair skinned; have red or blonde hair; are exposed to industrial light sources (welding arcs); or are on a medication which increases sensitivity of the skin to UV light. These medications are sulfa antibiotics, Tetracyclines, Amoxicillin, and oral contraceptives. The sunburn can result in skin changes that lead to premature wrinkling and loss of skin elasticity, as well as more serious outcomes such as keratosis, premalignant skin lesions, skin cancer, and malignant melanoma. Prevention of sunburn Avoid exposure to sun between noon and 3:00 pm.
