Re: Hello my current fixation is worry about sun exposure and skin cancer
It's a good idea to use sunscreen, yes. But sun damage is more than just deadly skin cancer - a lot of people want to avoid wrinkles and brown spots, which are also caused by the sun. And the truth is that most skin cancers, even if you had one, are really easily dealt with.
I'm sorry for your friend's mum. That must be really hard and it's no surprise that it would have triggered you. If you are worried, maybe you could talk to your GP or a derm about sunscreen recommendations? But that would mainly be for use outside as getting skin cancer indoors would be next to impossible I think.
I do understand your concerns - I'm a borderline ginger and I burn incredibly easily so I have to use a pretty high SPF sunscreen, even on my face (especially on my face). The moisturizers with like 15 or 30 SPF don't cut it. And I have certainly worried about skin cancer, even my parents have had skin cancer - but it wasn't the "bad kind" and was removed in one appointment. So it's certainly something to be aware of and vigilant about but please don't let yourself panic.
