Resumen
The harmful effects of solar radiation on the organism originate mainly from Ultraviolet rays. Sun burn, an acute and visible reaction arising from skin exposure to such radiation, can cause serious coetaneous lesions, cellular destruction and harmful effects on connective tissue, and may even be accompanied by oedema and loss of liquids. The aims of this work have been to describe and assess the effects of skin reactions to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, to elucidate on different prevention strategies and/or treatment of the sunburn. In general, it seems to be necessary to stress the importance of adopting healthy habits with regard to ultraviolet radiation exposure, especially important in first eighteen y cars of live, and to carry out educational campaigns to prevent the appearance and/or worsening of conditions arising from such.
