Can i get sun damage in less than one minute of sun each day?

Not likely: If you stay out of the sun completely no sun damage. Uv exposure is dependent on a number of things including altitude, latitude weather conditions and reflectionion of light or glare. While no race is free of sun risk the pigmentation of skin affects the level of risk.

Not very likely: With that kind of history, your sun damage isn't likely to be significant, compared to people that spend time or work outside. But, in florida, we recommend that everybody use sunscreen routinely - as driving in the car, and walking from the car to the mall, etc., - you can still build up a significant exposure.
