Factors like age and genetics can play a role in skin cancer risks, but its main trigger is UV light
Skin cancer experts are sounding the alarm as only a quarter of Scots aren't applying sunscreen in their home country, according to new research.
The survey also found that that 31 percent of people in Scotland have used sunbeds, even though they're a major trigger for the disease. Over the last decade, melanoma incidence rates have increased by around 32 per cent in the UK. Rates in women have jumped by more than a quarter, while male cases have risen by 38 per cent.
“Sunbeds can be incredibly dangerous and it’s concerning that their use is so popular in the UK. The best way to protect yourself from the dangers of sunbeds is to avoid them altogether and use high-factor sun protection, along with seeking shade and wearing a hat when in the sun.”
