Sunburn Follow-up

The doctor either will schedule a follow-up visit at the time of the person's initial evaluation and treatment or will give instructions to return if certain problems occur. Sunburn can cause lost workdays, which in certain jobs (especially the military) can lead to disciplinary action. Furthermore, sunburn can cause premature aging and skin cancers.
