Risk of melanoma can be reduced by using high factor sunscreen

Some people prefer high factor sunscreen over low factor to avoid sunburns.
Researchers at University of Oslo reported that high factor sunscreen not only protects against sunburn but also reduce the risk of melanoma by 33%.
Melanoma is a malignant tumour that starts in melanocytes. Melanocytes are a type of cell that make melanin, which is the pigment that gives your skin and eyes their colour.
