To be fair, the skincolour technically does two jobs; while darker skin protects you better from sunburn, the lighter skin also absorbs vitamin D from the light (and darker skin also protects ou from getting too much of that D). That is why the skincolour gets lighter, the more north you go, as the sun does not provide as much said vitamin.
Why am I mentioning this, well, the traditional bane of nordic hemisphere people is depression due to the lack of said vitamin D, during the time the sun just don't come up, so if anyone with a darker skintone migrates here: remenber to supplement that extra D, because even the pale snowpeople have issues getting enough naturally.
Please wear sunscreen. While black people are less likely to get skin cancer they are much more likely to die from it if they do get it. Love, your ginger cousin.
Is that because it's harder to notice?
I had a very awkward conversation a while ago, when I (milk with a drop of coffee) had to tell the mother of one of my pupils ( coffee with a drop of milk) that he should use sunscreen, because he could get sunburn too. She was nice about it, but I felt kinda weird.
It felt weird but you were brilliant. Thank you for being a fantastic teacher
How tf can a black person get sunburnt?
I'm no expert, but I think it's got something to do with prolonged exposure to the sun
I just get a bit darker. My girl on the other hand, got sun poisoning.
Sun poisoning?! First 5G now this! I'm just gonna wrap my whole body in tinfoil!
I am baked potato man and this is my origin story.
I mean, I'm talking about a really dark skin, not like kinda dark
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 ( อกยฐ อส อกยฐ)
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.
From the million mile wide fusion bomb in the sky thats 5000 degrees? No idea
The sun burns
