Is melanoma common in 26 year old male?

Males and Melanoma: The incidence is slightly lower in men (probably due to the fact that men don't sunbathe or use tanning beds as frequently as women), but the risk of death is higher for men than women. There appears to be a biological difference in men vs. Women in our ability to deal with this type of tumor.
