Sunburn is a rare finding in infants which requires an analytical approach by physicians and parents. This case report aims to emphasize the importance of sunburn cases in infants who have more sensitive skin and potential to deteriorate. This is a case of thirty-one days old boy with a rash, edema with bulla spreading from the left temporal and parietal area to the left part of his neck, covering almost the half of his head with an approximate 8% first to second degree burn area. Sunburned boy was approached well and healed gradually without any complications. Health care workers should be aware that infant skin is much more sensitive and sunburn can occur easier and deeper and caregivers should be informed at every possible opportunity.
