• Noticed mole has enlarged and looks different, but not sure how long its been there

Is it OK to Get a Tan or Sunburn?Everyone, regardless of skin color,
can sunburn!
A suntan or sunburn are not indicators of good health.
Tanning and sunburns are just like smoking cigarettes; just one suntan or sunburn
can increase your risk of cancer, regardless of skin color.
