by: Anonymous

You don't say if you're fair or dark, but if you have light skin you're more at risk for skin cancer even if you don't get that much exposure.


Also bear in mind that exposure is cumulative, so over the course of years the risk builds. Finally, if you got a few severe sunburns as a child, your risk went up greatly.


But one other risk you might not have considered is that your smoking elevates your skin cancer risk. That pesky smoking is the gift that keeps on giving; it just ups the ante for everything from heart disease to all forms of cancer--and I do mean ALL forms.


You mentioned El Camino Hospital in your post. They annually have a free sun cancer screening (ususally in late summer.) If you don't have insurance coverage, watch for this event and go get screened for free.


Best wishes
