Burns appear if the skin does not "cope" with the radiation intensity. We explain how to determine the degree of burn and how to treat it.
What is a burn?
Depending on the phototype on the Fitzpatrick scale, people should be on the sun a different amount of time. For example, girls with red hair and blond eyes from nature are light - any sections of the body under the rays of the sun longer than 15 minutes become red. Redness of the skin is the first degree burn. The second degree is the appearance of small or large watery bubbles, which shoves a few days later and overgrow as a wound, covered with a dense crust.
