hi

i'd like to know more about skin cancer.

can sunlight damage my skin through sun tanning? If so, how long does being under the sun make me develop skin cancer?

also, if i get a cancer cell, how long will it develop and i have skin cancer?

Usually, it takes years of sun tanning to develop skin cancer. Using a sun block will help... the higher the SPF the better.

How long it will take really depends on the type of skin cancer.

For more information, go to http://www.cancer.gov/ and search for Skin Cancer.

Best wishes.
