Most exposed: People who are at the highest risk are those with the most exposure (outside jobs) and those with little or no protection (very light skin tone).

Family history: Individuals with a family history of melanoma are at an increased risk. Also fair skinned people, those with over 100 moles, tanning bed users (especially those under 35), and people with a personal history of skin cancer are at an increased risk for skin cancer.
