what does skin cancer look like?

Please answer! I watched too much Gray’s Anatomy, scared that freckles might be skin cancer! Hydroquinone?

Because of a scar on my chin, I started using Palmer’s Skin Success Eventone Fading Cream to lighten it up so that it would go away. The cream works very well, I noticed results in five days. However, I also noticed two freckles where I had applied the cream. I have heard that hydroquinone can cause cancer and has been banned in some countries, but I’m not so sure if it’s as dangerous as everyone is trying to make it sound, because U.S. dermatologists say it’s a safe and effective product. So the cream I use for the scar contains 2% hydroquinone in it, which is a small enough amount to be sold over the counter. Are the new freckles on my chin a sign of skin cancer from the hydroquinone or are they from the six hours I spent in the sun swimming? The freckles are small and look like the ones on my cheeks. I will be really cheesed off if this product gave me skin cancer because I have only been using it for a week.

For Dermathologist, or Doctors. ¿Do black/browned skin people have a minor rate of cancer-skin suffering?

The percentage of cancer skin cases is smaller for black peole than for white people, or it is the same no matter skin malanin levels ??

Is it true the more your outside the less likely you are to get skin cancer?

Obviously everyone freaks about tanning or going outside without a sunscreen. BUT not only have i heard but it also makes 100% sense that if you go outside and get sun (unprotected by spf) you are less likely to get skin cancer. I understand where people are coming from with the whole cancer thing but I like to compare it to your immune system. Yes you can be anal and stay away from all germs BUT if you do come across one you are going to get sick and its going to be a lot worse then somebody who is exposed regularly. Do you know what I mean? I know you can have too much of anything but you can also have to little.

do i have an easy risk getting skin cancer?

I just read that my aunt has skin cancer. So, I looked it up on the internet, an it said that if you have blue eyes, blond hair, red hair, an get freckles from being in the the sun to long that they have a higher risk of getting skin cancer. An I have blonde hair, an blue eyes!! But, when ever I’m out in the sun all I do is get darker but no freckles? Can someone help if I have an easy chance getting skin cancer?!

Can anyone give me any statistics on sunburn and skin cancer?

I’v been to the pool for a week straight and i got a big tan. But on Friday my back i have these pool water tan. Like, some spots are lighter than the other spots. My mom says its just the water spots that were on there and i got a tan with it. I know that if you have cancer you have these weird moles tht are werid shaped, but mine aren’t that.
Also my face looks like my back, but its not that bad as my back and near my nose, my cheeks are kinda red.
