Getting sunburn just once every two years can triple your risk of melanoma skin cancer, compared to never being burnt. Did you know the signs of sunburn can depend on your skin tone? For people with darker skin, it may just feel irritated, tender or itchy. If you notice signs of sunburn, you should come out of the sun and cover up to help stop any more damage from happening. But the more times you get sunburnt the higher your risk of melanoma skin cancer.
Reduce your risk of sunburn and protect your skin by using a combination of shade, clothing and sunscreen. Find out the best ways to enjoy the sun safely. Melanoma skin cancer can grow down through the layers of the skin and spread to other parts of the body. Remember, when skin cancer is found at an early stage, treatment is more likely to be successful. Read more about melanoma skin cancer symptoms. Brown, K.
Dennis, L. Sunburns and risk of cutaneous melanoma, does age matter: a comprehensive meta-analysis. Ann Epidemiol. The estimated five-year melanoma survival rate for Black people is only 67 percent, versus 92 percent for whites. Melanoma in children and adolescents accounts for 1 to 4 percent of all melanomas and 3 percent of pediatric cancers.

Martin Weinstock, a professor of dermatology and epidemiology at Brown University, told Healthline. This advice was central to the Slip-Slop-Slap campaign, a sun-protection initiative launched in Australia in the s. Its goal was to encourage people to protect themselves from the sun to lower their risk of skin cancer. Yes No.
