A member asked:
Can burning have to be severe to cause skin cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Skin cancer risk is increased by both intensity (burns) and cumulative exposure. Protect yourself not just by not burning, but by minimizing your sun exposure, particularly between 10 and 2. Avoid tanning beds and use sunblock that protects against both uv a and uv b.
