skin cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in skin cells. There are several types of skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and other types. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide. The main cause is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. The best defense for skin cancer is to avoid overexposure to sunlight. Early detection of skin cancer increases chances for a more successful recovery.

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.
