I tan everyday, should i be really worried?!
Question: I tan everyday, should i be really worried!?
Well i just payed for a months worth of tanning because my friend started doing it and she goes every day after school so now i go everyday, i'm at 16 mins a day at the moment but i increase 3 everyday, unless i burn!. The whole time i'm in there i'm like totally freaking out that i'm getting cancer that very second, my mom died from breast cancer back in 2002 and i'm only 15 right now!. Idk what to do though, i'm so worried about it, i dont know very much about this stuff!. Can anyone tell me the risks and what the chances are and just some basic information on it!? Thanks in advance!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey there,
This is so funny that you have asked this question when I was just confirming a dermatologist appointment for Friday!.
As far as I know, I don't have any kind of skin cancer, but it does run in my family and now I am in my 30's after owning a tanning bed and tanninng year round for a couple of years, you really start to question any and every freckle that pops up!.
My grandfather has lived into his 80's and grew up on a farm!. he has had so many things removed from his skin that it has disfigured him!. They even had to take off half his ear!. I am serious!.
I think you are very smart to ask questions!. But, I have to share with you being scared that you are going to die of the same thing your mom passed away from is very normal!.
My mom died when I was 31 very suddenly from heart issues!. For the longest time, anytime my heart raced, I started thinking, gosh is this how she felt!. It gets better!. I had to get counseling, and I am a counselor, twice your age!. I have no idea what I would do if I would have lost my mom at your age!.
Hang in there!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There's a very good article from Fitness Magazine that tells you everything about the dangers of tanning booths!. Go to www!.fitnessmagazine!.com and look for the article!. Type "tanning booths" in the search field; it will be the second article down on the results ("Indoor Tanning: The Skin Cancer Risk You Don't Know About")!. Read it; one of the women mentioned had to go through several skin cancer scares before she realized what she was doing to her body!. Hope it helps you and your friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
