If i have a skin burn can it turn into skin cancer?

Sunburn and skin ca: We know that people who have had blistering sunburns as kids or young adults have a greater risk of developing skin cancer as adults.The damage caused by sunburn sets you up for skin cancers in the future...Which can be a few years to a few decades.Patients on immune suppressants for transplanted organs also have an increase in skin cancer. Skin ca ranges from squamous, basal, to serious melanoma.

Yes: Yes, but probably not for several years later. The best way to reduce your risk of skin cancer is to limit your exposure to uv radiation from the sun.

It's rare: If you have an old cicatrix (big scar) from a really bad skin burn, there's a real risk of a squamous cancer arising here years later. But don't worry -- keep a close eye on the scar and if something new appears, have it off as soon as you can and you'll be almost certain of a cure.
