A member asked:

When a mole gets (solarium) sunburned regularly is there a chance it can turn into melanoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Repeated sunburns increase one's chances of developing a melanoma. Transformation of an ordinary 'mole' (nevus) into melanoma isn't all that common but is possible and uv rays from sunlight can be the transforming damaging event.
