Am i at risk of skin cancer ?


i tan only in the summer when i go swimming or to the beach, i get burned the first time on my face then it peels off then i get tan the rest of my body gets really dark also. im only 14 im scared i might get skin cancer or get wrinkles at a young age. what do you think my chances are ?

Everybody is at risk. But you are really challenging it. Why is you face always getting burned? You don麓t prepare before going to the beach? Nobody can say what your chance are: we don麓t know you skin type etc.

Good luck to you

If you burn that fast then you are probably more likely to get skin cancer. ALWAYS put sunblock on your face. Even when you're not going tanning. It helps with wrinkles later in life.
