napégést

Napégés is a Hungarian term referring to sunburn. It is the skin's reaction to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The condition typically manifests as redness, pain, and inflammation of the affected skin. In more severe cases, blistering, swelling, and fever can occur. The primary cause of napégés is prolonged or intense exposure to UV-B rays, though UV-A rays also contribute.

The symptoms of napégés usually appear a few hours after sun exposure and can last for several days. The severity depends on factors such as skin type, duration of exposure, and the intensity of the UV radiation. Individuals with fair skin are generally more susceptible to sunburn than those with darker skin tones. Repeated napégés over a lifetime significantly increases the risk of premature skin aging, including wrinkles and sunspots, and more seriously, skin cancer.

Prevention of napégés involves limiting direct sun exposure, especially during peak UV hours, typically between 10 AM and 4 PM. Wearing protective clothing, such as hats and long-sleeved shirts, and using broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF are crucial preventive measures. Seeking shade and staying hydrated can also help mitigate the effects of sun exposure. Treatment for mild napégés focuses on relieving discomfort and promoting healing. This includes applying cool compresses, using moisturizing lotions containing aloe vera, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Severe cases may require medical attention to manage pain, prevent infection, and address dehydration.
