Skin radiation can be caused by different factors; environmental (by spending time in an area high in radiation), as part of treatment for another health condition, or by prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays without protection.
Radiated skin signs include sunburn, wrinkles, dryness, peeling and redness. These are external signs; internally, the DNA inside skin cells can become damaged, which in turn can lead to skin cancer. It is important to treat the signs of radiation ASAP to try to re-protect the skin and repair any cell damage.
