What Causes Throbbing In The Head When Exposed To Sun?
I spent 4 hours in the sun yesterday without applying sunscreen. I do not have much hair on the top of my head so I have very little protection. I also was not wearing a hat. The problem is that after spending over 45 minutes in the sun, the top of my head will throb for several days. Why does this happen?
