Sunburn risk and cancer link
A new study shows that repeated sunburns during childhood significantly increase the risk of skin cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma. Tests involving more than 321,000 people revealed that moderate sunburns raise the likelihood of developing cancer by 51%, while severe and repeated burns can increase the risk by up to 69%. Ultraviolet rays cause DNA damage in skin cells, and the accumulation of mutations over time raises the chances of cancer development. Continuous sun exposure, particularly in children, can increase the risk of squamous cell carcinoma by up to three times. Experts advise caution against sunburns, especially during childhood, by using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding the sun during peak hours.
