A member asked:
What would cause melanoma in a 25 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin melanoma is the second most common cancer (after lymphomas) among teens and young adults under the age of 30 years in the US. The main risk factor for melanoma is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially intermittent exposure, either from sunlight or artificial sources. Melanoma is rare among darkly-pigmented racial or ethnic groups, in comparison with light-colored groups.
