Sun beds

SPM1959 · 2014-04-23 20:54:05

Do many men on here use them? I am thinking about using them for the summer as look a lot better with a tan. Not sure though and would like to hear from other men who do. As to what their experience of using them are.

This information is useless without also knowing that only 308 men in Ireland got melanoma last year. So using a sunbed makes the risk of getting melanoma jump from vanishingly small to... vanishingly small.

Sorry about re opening this thread.
Statistics are great, but the person behind it tells the real story.
I have put in 2 years of hell with melanoma. Not only has it affected 1 person as your stats say, my friends/family of which there are maybe 15-20 are all having a sh1t 2 years too. That 20 or so immediate family/friends and of course me, live everyday frightened of the future. That's the real stat.

I am sorry to hear this. It is horrible when anyone is struck with an illness.

The op here was querying sunbed use.

Can you confirm that your melanoma was caused by sunbed use?
