it depends. if it was a lot of radiation, it could burn your skin.
Answer:
Radiation comes in multiple types from multiple sources. In fact, skin is our body's primary defense against the forms that we normally encounter every day from a variety of sources, including the sun, electronic devices, the earth itself, etc... If a person is exposed to certain kinds, in high enough doses, or for prolonged periods, it causes burns. A common example is a simple sunburn. In a less common example, this can cause severe burns, blisters and complete disintegration of the skin itself, not to mention the tissue underneath. A larger danger of widespread radiation exposure is to the environment itself, especially food and water, as this bypasses our skin, essentially cooking us from the inside out. This leads to a variety of medical problems including cancer and birth defects.
Radiation can occur in a vacumn.
SKIN CANCER!
When people are exposed to excess UV or ultraviolet radiations they can be exposed to various fatal diseases. Most common of them being skin cancer and eye cataract.
Protection from ultraviolet radiation is what we use sunblock for. UV (ultraviolet) rays have high energy and can damage skin.
Sunlight (sun's UV radiation) is the major environmental factor that affects skin color in humans. Skin pigmentation (melanin) is responsible for skin color and it evolves primarily to regulate the amount of ultraviolet radiation penetrating the skin.
he will burn from the inside out
Ultraviolet is ionising radiation. That means that it will ionise (turn into ions) some substances due to being a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation. If these 'substances' happen to be in your skin then you can start to see how UV radiation can be bad.

Nothing - peoples skin is water (and blood) proof.
UV radiation is harmful to skin. It causes skin cancer.
Yes. Both nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation such as light can happen in a vacuum.
Melanin is a substance produced by the skin that protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation. It also gives skin its color.
actually what happens to you is your skin gets so pruned and wrinkly that your blood has clots and gets tightened and thick so you die of starvation and blood conflicts.
Nothing in particular, because that happens anyway, especially in people that have skin that is highly pigmented. The UV radiation the comes in contact with the keratinocytes, special cells that protect the skin, in the upper layer,the epidermis are the ones that become cancerous from UV radiation exposure.
alpha radiation
A burn (caused by radiation, or heat) to the skin.
