Sunburn
Sunburn is hot and sore skin caused by too much sun. It may flake and peel after a few days. You can treat it yourself. It usually gets better within 7 days.

If you have sunburn, your skin may:

feel hot to touch
feel sore or painful
flake or peel - this usually happens a few days after you get sunburn
Your skin may also blister if your sunburn is severe.
