I bike a lot in the summer, and play tennis. I am very fair skinned, and I have blond hair and blue eyes. I always put a lot of sunscreen on but I’m always still very tanned. I’m only 20 and I don’t want to have too many wrinkles and skin cancer when I’m older. Is there anything I can do to decrease the risk. I don’t want to stay indoors all day Warm weather in Canada only comes around every few months.

I really just wanna go tanning once for an upcoming event. Is there a risk that I could get skin cancer from this one time? I think I’m only going to go in for 10 minutes also.

Can I sue the NHS for giving me unnecessary photo therapy for jaundice as a newborn without the consent of my parents? According to a new study photo therapy treatment is linked to the development of many more moles than usual, which i have all over my face and body. Not only does this put me at a far higher risk of developing skin cancer, they have also been the source of anxiety and insecurity throughout my life.

I have a lot of moles-A LOT-so many it would take me ages to check all of them, does this mean I have a higher chance of getting Melanoma? I’m really pale skinned and don’t go out in the sun much but I do want a tan this year. I’m not one of those people who’s scared to do anything in case they get cancer but I was just wondering if the fact I have so many moles puts me at higher risk.

I have got a few removed before (for cosmetic reasons) and I want to get more removed because they make me self conscious. So basically my question is-if I have a lot of moles does that make me more at risk of getting skin cancer (Melanoma) and if I didn’t have any moles at all (or got them all removed) would that mean there’s no way I could get Melanoma? My mum and nan have both had skin cancer if that makes any difference-but not Melanoma, one was Basal cell carcinoma and the other one I can’t remember but it wasn’t that serious. Thanks.

what are some ways to get skin cancer…
like if i got a second degree sunburn did my chances just go up?
and if your doctor says ur at risk, how do you know if you have "signs" of it?
