Condition
Sunburn
Sunburn is skin damage caused by ultraviolet radiation, usually from the sun, which inflames the skin so it turns red and sore and, in severe cases, blisters. People most often look at topical aloe vera and vitamin C to soothe it, though little research on either has been reviewed here so far. Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and zinc come up too, but the science behind all of these is still early.
