5. Darkening of the Skin
You may notice one area of your skin darker than the rest after a day spent in the sun. In some cases of sun poisoning, the skin most affected by the sun’s rays is made darker, which is also known as hyperpigmentation. This symptom is more than the usual, mild reddening of the skin associated with a typical sun burn.

6. Blistering
Blistering can be one of the most painful symptoms of sun poisoning. It’s important to take action immediately if you notice blisters after spending time in the sun. First, it’s essential to get out of the sun and cool yourself down with a cool bath or shower. Drink extra fluids, and use a moisturizer or aloe gel to ease the pain. It’s important to cover these areas when going outdoors in the future.
