A member asked:

I got a light sun burn on my arm where i have some small scars. should i be concerned about one of them becoming skin cancer in the future or no?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Exposure to sunlight does not cause transformation of fibrous scar tissue to malignancy. If pre existing nevi or evidence of a small ulcerating skin lesion appears, these are potential sites of further transformation with overexposure to sunlight
