I spend a lot of time in the sun because of my work, and I'm always hearing about skin cancer, especially abroad. Here in India, it seems less common. How rare is skin cancer generally among people in our country?

It is relatively less common in India compared to Western countries, but we still get cases. Honestly, don't buy those random 'natural sunscreen' hacks or herbal spot removers online. If a mole is changing shape, go get a biopsy done by a dermatologist.

It is quite rare in India due to our melanin, which is great! So you can enjoy your outdoor street food runs without extreme panic, but still, wearing a basic sunscreen is good. Don't skip the sunscreen or the golgappas!

It is fairly rare here, but please don't try to treat any suspicious skin growth or dark spot with home remedies like haldi or neem. If something looks unusual or doesn't heal, a skin specialist must inspect it properly.

I agree, skin cancer is not very common in India. Still, any mole that is growing or bleeding should be shown to a dermatologist immediately.

In our country, skin cancer is quite rare because our skin is naturally protected, but one must still be careful in the harsh afternoon sun. Wearing full sleeves and covering your face is an age-old practical way to stay safe. If you see any persistent sore, please consult a doctor.
