Sun : The more sun exposure the more likely one is to develop skin cancer . Use sun protection and limit the amount of sun.

At your own risk: It is not wise to stay in the sun without wearing sunblock. If you already have signs of skin cancer or skin damage from the sun, it is even more important for you t stay out of the sun and to protect your skin with proper clothing, a hat, sunblock.
