Most skin cancers are locally destructive cancerous (malignant) growth of the skin. They originate from the cells of the epidermis, the superficial layer of the skin. Unlike cutaneous malignant melanoma, the vast majority of these sorts of skin cancers rarely spread to other parts of the body (metastasize) and become life-threatening.

The most common risk factors for skin cancer are as follows.

Ultraviolet light exposure, either from the sun or from tanning beds. Fair-skinned individuals, with hazel or blue eyes, and people with blond or red hair are particularly vulnerable. The problem is worse in areas of high elevation or near the equator where sunlight exposure is more intense.
A chronically suppressed immune system (immunosuppression) from underlying diseases such as HIV/AIDS infection or cancer, or from some medications such as prednisone or chemotherapy
Exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays) or chemicals known to predispose to cancer such as arsenic
Certain types of sexually acquired wart virus infections
People who have a history of one skin cancer have a 20% chance of developing a second skin cancer in the next two years.
Elderly patients have more skin cancers.

Is it possible to prevent skin cancer?

Many skin cancers can be prevented by avoiding triggers that cause tumors to develop. Prevention strategies include **protection from the sun by the use of sunscreens, protective clothing, and if you getting a new car consider one with tinted windows, or go to the nearest Professional Tint Shop to install window tint film which blocks up to 99% uv rays.
Parents should ensure children are protected from the sun. Do not use tanning beds, which are a major cause of excess ultraviolet light exposure and a significant risk factor for skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has noted a dramatic rise in the numbers and cost of skin cancer. Furthermore, there has been an increase in the total number of skin cancers and that new breakthrough treatments for melanoma, although expensive, comprise only a small portion of the total cost of skin cancer treatment. Most skin cancers are treated cost efficiently by dermatologists in an office setting.

Does Factory Window Tint Protect You?
Tinted windows are a stylish and sleek-looking addition to any vehicle.
Once a popular modification, tinted windows now come stock in many vehicles. While they can be great for helping you look good and retain your privacy, do they protect you against the sun’s rays?

Aftermarket window films can be applied to block the majority up to 99 percent of ultraviolet radiation, both UVB and UVA,
Laws differ from state to state and city to city, so it's best to check with a window-tint dealer to find out how dark you're allowed to tint car windows in your area. However, you don't necessarily need a dark tint to protect against UV exposure.
