Abstract
There is a consensus among the scientific community that the 3 major types of skin cancer—squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma(BCC), and malignant melanoma—are caused by sun exposure.1,2 Furthermore, inherited characteristics, such as skin type and propensity to sunburn, mayhave a marked effect on the risk of skin cancer.3 It is not known whether the presence of other dermatologic conditions modifiesthe association between sun exposure, skin type, and actinic damage.Keywords
