I come from a very fair skinned family so sunscreen use is not optional (although I don't apply it every day, just when I'll have lots of sun exposure to avoid sunburn). But my mother survived a melanoma and I have had basal cell, as well as my dad and brother. The basal cell seems to ONLY be developing on all of us in areas sun reach.

My mother, the melanoma survivor, always scoffed when I told her I was supposed to stay out of the sun per the doctors because of HER melanoma. She said he was under her armpit and the least suntanned part on her body, had probably never been exposed to the sun EVER because of the type of swimsuits back then.

In any event, I'm not going to stop using sunscreen but I think that the sun is not the only reason people would get melanomas.

Avoiding skin cancer is a matter of doing self examination regularly and seeing a dermatologist to have things removed if they look suspicious. This method has worked well for me for many years.

While melanoma may not be caused by the sun as much as they think, I am a firm believer that basal cell carcinoma follows the patterns where sun shines. At least it is a much much much more benign form of cancer.

My sister died of cancer and she was told there are 2 types of melanoma. The one caused by the sun (which is much much easier to take care of) and the one NOT caused by the sun, which is far far more lethal and is caused more by diet.

All her melanoma spots where where the sun hit the least.

eta: for me, staying out til just before I'm pink (and actual BURNING is the danger) is tough since that threshold is so small lol. But I do not wear sun screen. I carry a long sleeved thin shirt and when I feel like I'm near pinking, I put it on.

I threw out all my sun screen 2 years ago. I started supplementing in winter with vitamin d and i haven't had a burn since. I used to burst in to flames in less than 10 minutes even with using SPF 55.

Abifae, my mom must have had that second type. This was back in 1950 so I doubt they knew that much about it then. She was only 25 and had two small children, and was sooooooooooo relieved when they caught it in time, she had just had a dear friend die of melanoma.

I know someone who had a melanoma and it moved to brain cancer. They operated and she is still around but her health is really compromised. I do a once a month self scan and get lots of skin tags frozen off, have the dermatologist check me over all the time, I'm a high risk person. But my dermatologist that a cancer you can SEE on your skin can be a much safer kind to have.

I can pretty much tell when I have a new basal cell as one of the dogs always wants to lick them. We have been so broke we cannot afford the dermatologist right now, I actually removed a couple myself (I know, I'm baaaaad). I hope to see all my docs when we start getting paid from SSI...

Yep. Hers didn't become visible til they were oozing nasty things.

hey guys there are some very powerful cures for cancer,

heres a very simple cancer cure from blood transfusions.

anti cancer blood transfusion

this is quite incredible! this shows that there are genetically resistant people in a society as well, and u see this in people especially ones exposed to cancerous materials there whole lives and never developing cancer, like some smokers.
if we find the anti cancer genetics in our human population we can transfuse the blood into people with history of cancer and at the same time make them immune to cancer as well, simply by a blood transfusion. it can be that simple!
obviously u need to match blood types(also one way is to spin the blood into its serum layers and take the antibodies out to make a vaccination that way)

remember in the ancient times people use to rub blood to give immunity to eachother, obviously this was very unsanitary, but here we go again with modern science brings up the" blood brothers" technique again with transfusion equipment, ancient man was smart , just didnt have the technology to make things safe lol.

PLEASE watch the video! and spread it! knowledge is power! simplicity is key to save humanity!

Okay, since you were brave enough to post that, I'll post this:

I have removed several basal cell spots using baking soda. No, I didn't have them diagnosed, but an open spot for two years was a pretty good indication.
We didn't have any money to spare, so I thought I'd give it two weeks of baking soda before heading to the dermatologist. The worst spot really stung for a while after I put the baking soda on. The other spots weren't bad, I was just aware that it was working.

It has to be kind of roughed up or open, so I'd use my fingernail (really sanitary, huh) to kind of scratch some bumps or scrub hard with the back brush while in the shower. I applied dry baking soda on the spots once or twice a day. On the worst spot, I had to wait a day or so to apply more as it was so sore. The spots got bigger and I could tell they were a bit deeper in the tissue, too. I just kept putting the baking soda on.

But now, they're all healed. I did get a rubber-type ball-ish thingy out of the worst spot after a while. I have a little round dent of a scar there, but otherwise that's it.

Before everyone starts blasting me, I'm not suggesting that you have to do this, should do this, etc. I'm just saying this worked for me and I'm happy with the results.

My daughter, who works for a dermatologist, is fairly annoyed with this. She's had several bouts of skin cancer on her face...does the chemo in a tube...over and over and over again.

5% Iodine is an excellent choice as well.
It will remove moles with good results as well.

They told me basal cells have a rounded bottom but little fingers extending down into the skin, so removing them would likely spread them, that you would start all the little fingers forming into new basal cell carcinomas. But I watched the dermatologist remove several and I've watched and assisted with surgeries for years and I was fairly certain these are basal cell carcinomas and not something else. I have a real pattern with them. I'll have to try the baking soda, but I've started just snipping some of them off and snipping off the base with it. It doesn't even hurt (I am tough though). I had one under my eyelash that my primary care guy didn't want to touch and I finally snipped it off the other day, I'm so glad. I've also found that the ones that form in areas I shave my legs always dissapear with regular leg shaving and no ill effects so this couldn't be the worst thing in the world to do. I've been shaving them off my ankles accidentely for many years now. Next time I see the dermatologist I'll certainly discuss this however and be ready for my scolding.

They also scold me anyway because I'm the most freckled person you'd ever see, but really, I've always covered up from the sun and was the whitest girl and most sunburned when I was a kid in California.
