I have a tendency to believe that melanoma has nothing to do with the sun (in the natural course of things - I've had two relatives that had melanoma develop in moles that were never exposed to the sun), but I do believe that there is a connection between sunscreens and the rise in number of cases. The more they screamed at people to use it, the more cases there seemed to be. Thank you for confirming that.
