YES!!: You are at a higher risk of skin cancer by going tanning, you should get them checked by a dermatologist and have a yearly check up also, no matter what!

Absolutely: Using a tanning bed before the age of 35 increases your risk of melanoma by 75%. See your dermatologist for a complete skin exam.

Sunbed: Yes , get your moles checked by a dermatologist especially when there is a history of sun bed use. Skin cancers are more likely to occur in this scenario.
