Tanning is caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds that causes genetic damage to cells on your outmost layer of skin. The skin tries to prevent further injury by producing melanin (the pigment that gives our skin its color) that results in darkening – what we call a tan.

This damage is cumulative, starting from the very first tan.

Worldwide, there are more skin cancer cases due to indoor tanning than there are lung cancer cases due to smoking. Be sun safe and smart — avoid tanning! If you want a golden glow, consider sunless tanning products. There are many options that can give you a bronzed look, but you still need sun protection!

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer and the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 3.6 million cases are diagnosed each year. BCCs arise from abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells. BCCs can look like open sores, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, scars or growths with slightly elevated, rolled edges and/or a central indentation. On skin of color, BCCs may appear to be pigmented.

Because BCCs grow slowly, most are curable and cause minimal damage when caught and treated early. Learn about BCC causes, risk factors and warning signs:

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is the second most common form of skin cancer, characterized by abnormal, accelerated growth of squamous cells. When caught early, most SCCs are curable.

An estimated 1.8 million cases of SCC are diagnosed each year, which translates to about 205 cases diagnosed every hour.
