Can sunburn leave scars?!


Question:

Can sunburn leave scars?

I got badly sunburnt 2 and a half weeks ago,I used loads of aftersun with aloe vera, there wasnt any blisters but it took almost 2 weeks to peel, its still a bit red, will it leave a scar???!!!!!


Answers:

Deep sunburn that has affected the next layer of skin (epidermis) can and will leave scars. However, this type of sunburn is so severe it generally puts the person in A and E.

I suspect your sunburn will not scar...BUT you should avoid sunburn at all costs as it predisposes skin cancer...cover up
