Sunburn
Some people tan while some people never tan, but get burnt when they are out in the sun. It depends upon the amount of melanin in the skin. More the melanin, darker the skin. Those who don't have the defense of melanin, suffer burning of skin when exposed to sun. Melanin protects skin from the UV radiation by protecting the skin cells. Therefore the sunrays damage those who have a tendency of getting burnt. Repeated burns may cause skin cancers. Lets find out more about how the skin burns in the sun and what one can do to protect the skin.
