Sunburn symptoms can include:

 Inflamed skin, which looks pink or red on white skin and may be harder to see on
brown or Black skin
 Skin that feels warm or hot to the touch
 Pain, tenderness and itching
 Swelling
 Small, fluid-filled blisters, which may break
 Headache, fever, nausea and fatigue, if the sunburn is severe
 Eyes that feel painful or gritty
Any exposed part of the body — including the earlobes, scalp and lips — can burn.
Even covered areas can burn if, for example, clothing has a loose weave that allows
ultraviolet (UV) light through. The eyes, which are extremely sensitive to the
sun's UV light, also can burn.

Sunburn symptoms often appear within a few hours after sun exposure.

Within a few days, the body may start to heal itself by peeling the damaged skin's top
layer. A bad sunburn may take several days to heal. Any lingering changes in skin color
usually go away with time.
