How long after going to a tanning salon, did you get skin cancer?


everyone says they got skin cancer from a tanning salon, I know it varies but how long did you go to it before you got skin cancer?
How did you know you had cancer? & how often did you go?

Most skin cancers related to ultraviolet light exposure occur decades after the initial skin damage. Sunburns we suffer as teenagers become skin cancers decades later. Many cancers develop over long periods of time - including breast cancers, lung cancers, and colon cancer. These may be in the process of development for years before they become large enough to cause symptoms or be seen. Cancer begins as a microscopic disease. People often think that malignancies "pop up" quickly. It is just that we suddenly find them.
