Sunburn
Sunburn is the reddening, inflammation, and pain of the skin resulting from excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. In modern contexts, it's a common risk for outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike, often exacerbated by factors like climate change and thinning ozone layers, making it a key concern in public health campaigns.

This connection between everyday sun exposure and skin cancer has driven innovations in sunscreen technology over the past few decades.
