Sunbed study finds repeated use increases skin cancer risk

This doesn't surprise me in the least. I think anyone who uses sunbeds on a regular basis  is very foolish

Sunbed users are still at risk of skin cancer even if they do not burn their skin, according to a new study.

Researchers found sunbeds significantly increased the risk of a common type of skin cancer, which is caused by repeated tanning rather than burning.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 20% of skin cancers.

I'll never understand why people think they need an all year round tan.

I new a woman who used the sun bed every day and had done so for over 10 years and the skin on her legs looked like crocodile skin.
