I'm a skin cancer doctor in Queensland. I find skin cancers in patients almost every day. In fact, I think there have only been a few days of working this year where I didn't find one.

This is from screening. People in Australia generally understand the importance of skin cancer screening because most people know of someone who's had skin cancer.

Im not saying that skin cancer is not a thing, but that from my position seems overblown.

The fact that seems that if you take sun without sunbathe you could likely get skin cancer is crazy.

As I said, I live in a rural place where most people gets lots and lots of sun and I still have to know a single old man having it.

And old mans that have taken +8 hours of sun since they are 12.

Just my two cents
