The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma is still increasing in most light-skinned populations. Sunscreen use has been proposed for the primary prevention of melanoma. However, sunscreen use may increase time spent in the sun when users are willing to acquire a tan or to stay in the sun for a long time, which may increase melanoma risk. When sun exposure is not associated with the desire to acquire a tan or stay in the sun for a long time, sunscreen use may prevent squamous cell skin carcinoma. Sun protection should give priority to clothing and sun exposure reduction. Over the last 20 years, tan acquisition through exposure to artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation has become frequent among fair-skinned adolescents and young adults. There is accumulating evidence that sunbed use is associated with melanoma when started before approximately 30 years of age.
在大多数浅肤色人群中，皮肤恶性黑色素瘤的发病率仍在上升。有人提议使用防晒霜来进行黑色素瘤的一级预防。然而，当使用者想要晒黑或长时间晒太阳时，使用防晒霜可能会增加晒太阳的时间，这可能会增加患黑色素瘤的风险。当阳光暴露与晒黑的欲望或长时间晒太阳无关时，使用防晒霜可能会预防皮肤鳞状细胞癌。防晒应优先考虑衣物和减少阳光暴露。在过去20年中，通过接触人工紫外线辐射来晒黑在皮肤白皙的青少年和年轻人中变得很常见。越来越多的证据表明，在大约30岁之前开始使用日光浴床与黑色素瘤有关。
