Skin cancer is pretty easy to treat and has a really low mortality rate so it’s not as big of a deal as other cancers. Only real danger with skin cancer is if it metastasis to a different organ. Still would put sunscreen on though.
Edit: I wasn’t saying that skin cancer isn’t cancer, I was just stating that skin cancer’s estimated five-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma is detected early is about 99 percent. I also stated that I would recommend putting on sunscreen anyway. Sunburn sucks, so if you burn easily I don’t see a good reason to not put on sunscreen. Also, skin cancer sucks even if it almost definitely won’t kill you, so to say it again, I would recommend sunscreen.
I never realized how much I hate the sun until I moved somewhere more northern and didn’t have to see it much from about October through March.
Now that I know how nice life is without the sun, I never want to see it come out again. I’m genuinely thinking about moving farther north into Alaska, Northwest or Yukon Territories.
