A member asked:
I have never worn sun protection on my lips until now, will this give me skin cancer? what can i do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen use: Sunscreens don't give you cancer, they protect the underlying skin from the UV rays which can harm the DNA and transform those cells into cancerous ones. You just have to observe and if you see suspicious growths go to a dermatologist and have him take a look/see and maybe cut it out!
