Heatstroke risk could have lasting effects
A comprehensive scientific review has shown that severe, painful sunburns—especially those accompanied by blisters and peeling—cause long-term damage to skin cells and are associated with an increased risk of skin cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma. The study, published in JAMA Dermatology, analyzed data from 17 studies involving over 321,000 people. It found that the likelihood of developing squamous cell carcinoma increases by 51% with moderate exposure to severe burns and up to 69% with high exposure. Researchers emphasized that repeated childhood sunburns further elevate the risk, highlighting the importance of prevention and avoiding excessive sun exposure, especially for children and teenagers. Ultraviolet radiation damage accumulates over time and can lead to genetic changes that may develop into skin cancers later in life.
