I mean, I'm talking about a really dark skin, not like kinda dark

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it's still possible and when they develop skin cancer it's usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.

Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn't have to include red skin to be present.

It works the same way it works for anyone else who is in direct sunlight for too long. Black people can get melanoma too.

"All skin tones are susceptible to sun damage. Sunburn will cause darker skin tones to go darker, and the skin will feel hot and painful to touch. While darker skin tones are less likely to burn, almost anyone can get sunburnt or develop skin cancer."

A part of me knows this is true, but I've never gotten sun burned.

My sisters and mom have, but myself and my dad haven't.

Can't wait for that skin cancer to sneak up on me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hahaha, yeah. The black kids at the summer camp I volunteer for always think it's funny when I'm chasing them with sunscreen in my hand too. Luke seriously though, y'all, have you ever burnt the tops of your ears?? Trust me, don't find out.
