[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's whet killed bob Marley. So use sunscreen. [/quote] Debatable. Marley had melanoma under a toenail. Not exactly an area with much sun exposure, or one where people apply sunscreen anyway. [/quote] From the Mayo Clinic: "Melanomas can also occur in areas that don't receive much sun exposure, such as the soles of your feet, palms of your hands and fingernail beds. These hidden melanomas are more common in people with darker skin."[/quote] My point exactly. Skin cancer that primarily affects dark-skinned black people is not necessarily prevented with sunscreen. The woman in this article also had melanoma on her foot. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/many-blacks-are-unaware-of-a-skin-cancerthat-primarily-affects-dark-skinned-people/2014/08/04/14164ada-e68a-11e3-afc6-a1dd9407abcf_story.html [/quote]
