Here are some important factors of the risk of skin cancer.

Long term sun exposure and sunburn---- Stay under the sun for a long time will develop the incidence of skin cancer. It’s dangerous to expose yourself to the sun.

Alisha,
Thanks for raising awareness about skin cancer. The best thing people can do to avoid skin cancer is to cover up, use hats and umbrellas, and avoid sun exposure between 11 AM and 3 PM. Many sunscreens only protect against UVB rays, and it is very important to find a product that protects against UVA rays as well.
