Is It To Be Concerned About The Frequent Sun Burn?

I have been exposed one day at the sun without any kind of protection, and i got a sunburn. Is this dangerous for me after a single exposure? I had a few more sunburns in the past, do their bad effects build up during the years? What can happen to me after a recent one time sunburn? Thank You!
