What Causes Sunburn Susceptibility?
Sunburn susceptibility can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'very minor' to 'needs attention'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose sunburn susceptibility, we could:
- Research the topic
- Find a doctor with the time
- Use a diagnostic computer system.
The process is the same, whichever method is used.
Step 1: List all Possible Causes
We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "sunburn susceptibility" as a symptom. For example, pyroluria.
Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist
We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
forgetting dreams
no social support group
high sensitivity to bright light
major joint pain/swelling/stiffness
fatigue after slight exertion
being a recovered alcoholic
chronic nausea
low alcohol consumption
no desire to eat breakfast
lighter/paler skin color
being an unsocial person
being prone to 'stitches'
... and so on
Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause
A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of sunburn susceptibility.
Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis
The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.
In the
Environmental Risk Factors section of the questionnaire,
The Analyst™ will ask the following question about getting sun burn easily:
Compared to other people with similar skin color, how quickly do you sunburn?
Possible responses:
→ I sunburn very quickly, much faster than most
→ I am sometimes more easily sunburned than others
→ About average / don't know
→ I don't easily get sunburned compared to others
→ I burn much slower than most people my skin color
|
Based on your response to this question, which may indicate rapid sunburn tendency, increased sunburn tendency, decreased tendency to sunburn or low tendency to sunburn,
The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as
Pyroluria.
