Sun exposure is not always the problem. I had a Melanoma removed from the bottom of my foot.
Do We Really Need Sun Protection?

According to a dermatologist, any sunscreen with an SPF over 30 is marketing, nothing more.

I used this article to ask my wife if I could have a convertible to gain valuable vitamin D on my daily commute.
She said sure, as long as I could get health insurance to pay for it.
Until then, I'll continue with my wide brim floppy hat and spend as much time outdoors as I can. I'd say just being outdoors to get the sunshine is probably a related factor, especially for this cubical dweller.

Yes you can get melanoma genetically, our son also had it on the bottom of his foot at birth. First thing I noticed at birth, what the h*** is that? Eventually it was cut off when he was older.
Sunburn destroys vitamin D created by sunlight and damages skin cells. NEVER get sunburn!!!!
I never wear sun screen but collect LARGE brim hats and always wear long sleeves and long pants in the sun.
I collect sun light for health, 5-10 minutes per side per day depending on the strength of the sun (less on July 1, more on October 1), every chance I can in a bathing suit. Think rotisserie.
I had pre-cancer cut off from sunburn when folks did not know the risks of sunlight.
