Yup. I should know. My mother had a serious case of it. She lost the entire muscle of her lower leg because a small mole became cancerous. All due to very bad sunburns in her youth.
People who live at the Equator are more prone to getting skin cancer, for a couple of reasons...the sun is closer to the Earth there, hence stronger and sun screen isn't ( well, perhaps now it is, but it didn't used to be )normally used there, as it is here.
