You should always keep a good idea of what is 'normal' about your body. Regularly inspect your body for moles, lesions, freckles or blemishs, and keep an eye on them. Consult your doctor if you are worried or notice a change in your skin, or a mole.

Some of the warning signs to watch out for if you are a person that uses tanning beds or lays out in the sun a lot and you suspect that you could have skin cancer, are:

1. Skin abnormalities that grow over time, pink, brown, tan, or translucent.
2. A mole like bump that changes color and grows, and changes in shape.
3. A spot that is dry and grows, and becomes itchy, bleeds, or becomes like a scab.
4. Sores that heal and reopen.

With this being said, it is very important that you take good care of your skin, by using the right kind of SPF sunscreen to not only protect it, but to decrease the risk of you getting skin cancer or any other type of skin diseases. Do all the proper steps BEFORE it is too late, and you find that you have damaged your skin by not taking proper good care of it.

Now people are using tanning beds that are more improved which use UBV lights which are supposed to be much safer than using UVA lights for tanning but it’s not a guarantee that your skin will remain undamaged. Research on using tanning beds with UV lighting has been shown to increase peoples’ chance of getting cancer. If you feel you must tan without using a fake tanning solution, it is best to do it naturally, out at a swimming pool or the beach with an appropriate tanning sunblock that blocks at least some of the suns harmful UV rays. With either decision you make, it is essential to make sure you do it wisely!
