The spot on your skin which is currently okay may change later and become skin cancer. Usually, they either burn it off or keep an eye on it for a period of time. Depending on the type of the growth, they will do a biopsy (slice it off and send it to the lab for testing) to be certain.

Will you get skin cancer if you wear sunblock?

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.
