Article Synopsis
- Overexposure to UV and visible radiation leads to sunburn and chronic skin inflammation, with mild relief options like aspirin and topical steroids.
- Long-term sun exposure is responsible for 90% of cosmetic skin issues, often mistaken for normal aging due to photodamage.
- Physicians should emphasize that all forms of UV exposure harm the skin, and using sunscreen regularly during youth can significantly decrease the risk of skin damage and nonmelanoma skin cancers later in life.
