I have had a problem with skin cancer. I think that people still don't realize that seating in the sun and tanning is dangerous. I was a child of the beach when growing up and I am paying for it now. I have had 2 surgeries on my nose. Two years ago I had Mohs surgery and a piece of my nose was removed. People should take skin cancer more seriouly today. There is a site that has some excellent information on skin cancer.

Young ones these days don't care about the consequences as long as they have a nice tan. I used to go to the solarium everyday but stopped when I realized how dangerous they are.
Exactly, a nice tan is not worth your life.
Sometimes we just focus on how to be tan or to make our skin beautiful.We do not look on the other side if it is really helpful like staying under the sun.

Hi
Skin Cancer Causes
Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, most commonly from sunlight, is overwhelmingly the most frequent cause of skin cancer.
Other important causes of skin cancer include the following:
* Use of tanning booths
* Immunosuppression—impairment of the immune system, which protects the body from foreign entities, such as germs or substances that cause an allergic reaction. This may occur as a consequence of some diseases or can be due to medications prescribed to combat autoimmune diseases or prevent organ transplant rejection.
* Exposure to unusually high levels of x-rays
* Contact with certain chemicals—arsenic (miners, sheep shearers, and farmers), hydrocarbons in tar, oils, and soot (may cause squamous cell carcinoma)
Regarding your mother's comment, people who had at least one severe sunburn early in life have a greater risk of developing skin cancer. Mom is right!
Treatment for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma is straightforward. Usually, surgical removal of the lesion is adequate. Malignant melanoma, however, may require several treatment methods, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
