Does sun tanning cause cancer?

I love outdoor running but always apply sunscreen to prevent deep UV damage. While regular tanning itself isn't instant cancer, prolonged unprotected UV exposure does damage skin cells. Try exercising early morning to avoid the harsh noon rays.

With thyroid issues, my skin is already very dry and sensitive to sun. I avoid direct sun tanning completely and get regular dermatological skin checks alongside my routine thyroid blood tests. It is best to let a doctor examine any unusual skin changes.

I used to play cricket in the open sun for hours without any protection and got heavily tanned. My skin became very dry and damaged, so now I always wear a full-sleeve shirt and sunscreen. It just feels much safer and healthier.

Actually, we don't need to worry about tanning salons here because our natural sun is strong enough, yaar! Just use a sunscreen to prevent sunburns, because severe burns are what actually increase cancer risk.

If you have moles that are changing shape or color after sun exposure, please get them checked by a skin specialist immediately. Any kind of prolonged skin damage should not be ignored for long-term safety.
