If I tan only my legs, will I reduce my skin cancer risk?
HI there, My legs are pasty but the rest of my body tans well. I am considering using a tanning bed to tan only my legs, while covering up the rest of my body. As opposed to NOT covering up the rest of my body with a tanning bed, will I be reducing my risk of developing skin cancer by tanning only my legs? I'm assuming that the less surface area exposed to ultraviolet rays, the less the risk for skin cancer.Thank you very much
Does being sunburnt increase your skin cancer risk even if only a small area is sunburnt?
Today, I went out but had run out of suncream. All day I tried to stay in the shade, but when walking home, I got a bit sunburnt on a small area on my nose as well as bit of my neck.Is that dreadful and will it increase my risk of skin cancer highly, or should it be alright, it's very rare that I get burnt as I have fair skin and tend to keep out of the sun, i think i've been burnt about 3 times, once on my arms, and twice just in small places.

The Sunscreen Controversy: Sunscreen, skin cancer risk, and malignant melanoma? What's the deal?
I've heard from many places that sunscreen can lower you chances of skin cancer. Then you hear that the FDA concludes that sunscreen alone doesn't do anything to prevent skin cancer. Then you hear others that say that sunscreen may even increase the likelihood of malignant melanoma, the most lethal of the three types of skin cancer, and that there's a difference between the underlying processes that cause sunburn and malignant melanoma and that stopping sunburn doesn't stop the latter of the two. They say that sunscreen helps prevent the two most common types of skin cancer, but may aggravate the most lethal of the three because of what it does with free radicals in the skin. So, what's the scoop on all this? If you get a sunscreen that not only blocks UVB but also UVA rays and apply it every two hours no matter what, would you still have this problem? What does one do to protect themselves?
