Excessive tanning and especially repeated sunburns are a risk factor for skin cancers, including melanoma, as you get older, but that does not mean it will happen. You should consult a dermatologist to better evaluate your particular risks and then you can develop an appropriate plan for monitoring going forward. It is good that you have abandoned tanning beds!

Potential melanoma and other skin cancers are potentiated in frequency from long term exposure, so a regular appointment with a board certified dermatologist for exams, and treatment for melanoma/basal cell carcinomas is appropriate.
