Question:
What are some early signs of skin cancer? I don't think I have it but I've probably gotten burned every summer
I'm 17 and I've probably gotten burned every summer at least once since I was 8. I know, that's really bad, and don't tell me to put sun screen on cause I already know. But I really don't want skin cancer. so what are some things that I can do to prevent it other than using sun screen. I hear there are some things you can eat that help prevent it but I'm not sure what. also I just wanted to know what are some signs of skin cancer?
If you could help me out that would be great! thanks.

My skin cancer's have all started out appearing as a red pimple like spot. I've had 2 removed off my upper arm. I'd scratch at them thinking they'd go away and then you realize that about 2-3 months have gone by and this thing hasn't healed. Mine were red with a smooth shiny surface. If they're flaky that is a good sign. Probably not skin ca. But it is so easy to get to a doctor, do a whole body skin check, have anything removed, and be on with your life. Thankfully mine were just basal cell, which is a good cancer to have because they just remove it. If i see anything on my skin I don't like, I make an appointment, and get it sliced off (the numb you up). Then I don't have to worry anymore. As far as food, I couldn't tell you. Hope this helps.
