  1. The symptoms of sunburn usually worsen 24 to 48 hours after you are burned. The symptoms gradually go away over the next few days.

    Sunburn causes long-term damage to the skin. Redness alone is the same as a first-degree burn. Redness with blistering is a second-degree burn. Both types of sunburn are harmful to the skin and over time increase the risk of skin cancer. Blistering burns increase the risk of malignant skin cancer (melanoma) by several times. This is especially true if you have severe sunburns 3 or more times when you are a teen or young adult.

    Too much sun exposure, even without sunburn, also causes the skin to age faster. Wrinkles, sagging, and brown sunspots develop at an earlier age.


  2. I got a third degree sunburn across the entire length of my back. It eventually went away, but left some pretty bad markings. Put some lotion on it maybe. Give it time.

  3.   sunburn should go away on it's own , after about three to five days if you keep it moist . if you have had it for longer than that then you need to see a doctor. It might not be sunburn.

  4. normally it would but if its not, use allow were its burned
