Risk factors include tanning beds, exposure to the sun, not using sun block when you are out in the sun and being fair-skinned. There may also be a genetic factor involved as well, since some families (such as my husband's) have a history of skin cancer.

Yes. Exposure to the sun.

Excessive sun exposure and tanning beds increase the chances of skin cancer.

I presume it is becoming more common because more people use sunbeds and more people are holidaying overseas than they did years ago

No. There are no credible studies that support that assumption.

Considering how the population has been increasing, I would think that more people have skin cancer than 20 years ago.
