Skin cancer is a condition about which people are 
becoming increasingly concerned. As yet, there is 
still a disturbing level of ignorance about the topic 
and not everyone fully understands the cause of 
the illness. In simple terms, sunburn and 
ultraviolet light can damage your skin, and this 
damage can lead to skin cancer. There are, of 
course, other determining factors including your
heredity and the environment you live in. As such, 
it's not always a simple matter to clearly define 
the source of an individual case. However, it's still 
true to say that total amount of sun received over 
ten years and over exposure resulting in sunburn 
can cause skin cancer.
