Higher than average: Would recommend you stop. We think it is cumulative exposure, so a little still exposes you to unnecessary risk.

Depends on duration: The main question is for how many years? Clearly cumulative exposure to tanning beds at a young age is a major risk for melanoma, especially for fair-skinned and red haired individuals. Melanoma cases have been rising for years, for a variety of reasons. My advice is to not use tanning beds at all-- it's not worth the risk!
