People who have skin cancer how much do they sunbathe their skin type and color?
People with light skin to medium toned skin that sunbathe a lot for hours at a time and for several or more days during the month are increasing their chances to skin cancer. Now, people who have been diagnosed with skin cancer shouldn't sunbathe at all and if they do they should play it safely by wearing sunblock. The people who have had skin cancer have a 50% chance of developing skin cancer again. Mostly, it is caused by sun damange, but sometimes it could be genetics (i.e. atypical nevus, which is a skin condition where the moles on one's skin aren't normal and have a better chance of developing into cancer). I am a skin cancer survivor who never sunbathes and if I do go to the beach, I cover myself in SPF 30 at least.

Maybe. Skin block provides protection from UV rays, which is a leading cause of skin cancer, but that does not mean you will not get skin cancer as there are other ways for it to form. People who work indoors, and expose their skin to the sun for extended periods of time tend to form skin cancer more often that people who are commonly exposed to the sun for moderate times.
