Summer Skincare SOS: What to Do When You Overdo the Sun
We’ve all been there: a beach day that ran too long, sunscreen that wore off, or a hike that left more than just memories—it left a burn. While enjoying Oregon’s sunny summer days, it’s easy to underestimate how quickly UV rays can damage skin. Even a mild sunburn or heat rash can lead to long-term consequences like premature aging, pigmentation, or an increased risk of skin cancer.
At Summit Dermatology in Medford, we see a surge in sun-related skin concerns every July—and we’re here to help you recover quickly and protect your skin going forward. Whether you’re dealing with lobster-red shoulders or subtle signs of UV overexposure, this guide is your go-to for relief, repair, and prevention.
