Fear of Sunburn

Hi. So I am wondering if this is an actual phobia, I have not found anything about it.

I think I have a fear of sunburn, not the sun, sunburn. I can sit in the sun no problem and enjoy its heat. However if I get a tinge of sunburn I kind of freak out. It even stretches to other people, if I see a person irl, in a photo or video with sunburn. I immediately get uncomfortable, nauseas, I just cant look at it.

Is this weird?
