Regular use of sunscreen decreases melanoma risk by 50% (Green, A, et al,
2011) and squamous cell carcinoma by
40% (Green, A et al, 1999)

If you're concerned about chemicals in sunscreen, choose an all mineral cream or lotion sunscreen with zinc oxide.

Other common sun protection myths I hear as a dermatologist who treats skin cancer for a living:

Myth: "the sun doesn't cause skin cancer."

Truth: 90% of skin cancers are a result of sun exposure, including indoor tanning.
(Parker et al, 2011)

In fact, 5 sunburns in childhood or even one bad blistering sunburn can double your risk of developing melanoma later on.

Myth: "Sunscreen blocks vitamin D"

Truth: sunscreen doesn't completely block all UVB and people who wear sunscreen in the summer have adequate levels of vitamin D compared to those who don't wear it.

What questions do you have about sunscreen?
