With sunny summer weather can come new — or returning — skin rashes, including heat rash and sunburn. At the more severe end, you might even develop sun poisoning. While these skin reaction have similar names and are related to heat and sun exposure, they are different conditions, Dr. Shasa Hu, associate professor in the department of dermatology and cutaneous surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, tells TODAY.com.
'That can be a medical emergency because, eventually, they'll develop an altered mental state,' Hu says. At the most serious end, someone with sun poisoning may become confused and dizzy — as well as severely dehydrated and overheated. Although people often have a serious sunburn along with sun poisoning, the condition doesn't always cause a skin issue, Hu says.
