Does Sunburn Cause Hair Loss?
Dear Sir,I was out playing football the other day and my dome received a sunburn in return.My scalp was red but it wasn’t a bad sunburn but it was noticable.It doesn’t hurt.Will this cause hair loss ?I read that first degree burns can cause hair damage.
Thanks Sir
First degree burns will not produce hair loss. I suspect from what you said, the burn was even less significant. If you constantly get sunburns or prolonged sun exposure, the UV light from the sun will damage the infrastructure of the skin and that is what causes skin cancers (amongst other skin problems).
