> Melanoma in adults is typically tied back to acute blistering sunburn events that happened before the age of 18 (as you seem to be aware)

I'm curious how this was studied. I feel like that's when everyone gets really bad sunburns because this has to be extremely hard to actually confirm. Doesn't everyone get sunburns when they were in this age category? It's when we are young and irresponsible, putting on sunscreen requires persistence on something that doesn't seem important in the short term (and arguably is a newer trend).

I totally believe that sun damage on your skin causes skin cancer but studying your choices in your younger years to later years seems quite difficult to confirm through research. Wouldn't they need to confirm adults that were diligent about putting on sunscreen their entire life, including when they were kids?
