New York City residents are facing rising temperatures, leading to increased cases of skin disorders like rashes and sunburns. Record-high temperatures have reached 100 degrees. Statistics show that nearly 30% of adults reported sunburns in the last year, and over 50% do not use sunscreen. Sunburn occurs as an inflammatory response from UV radiation, causing redness and pain. Children are particularly vulnerable to sun damage. Proper awareness and protection against UV rays are crucial during peak sunlight hours to prevent skin damage.
Sunburn is essentially an acute inflammatory skin reaction from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds.
The UV rays penetrate your skin and trigger an inflammatory cascade, leading to the classic signs we all recognize: redness, warmth, pain, and sometimes even blistering.
According to data collected by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, nearly 30% of adults in New York State reported experiencing at least one sunburn in the past year.
Over 50% of Americans don't use sunscreen, which can lead to skin conditions such as sunburn, skin cancer, and more.
