This condition, known as photoaging, can make the skin appear older than it is. […] Sunburn can cause hyperpigmentation, where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas. This occurs due to an overproduction of melanin as the skin tries to protect itself from further UV damage. Hyperpigmentation can be challenging to treat and may require the use of specialized skin care products or treatments. […] One of the most serious long-term effects of sunburn is an increased risk of skin cancer. UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells, and over time, this damage can accumulate and lead to the development of skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
