Being in the sun a lot over your whole life — not just on vacations — makes you much more likely to get SCC, a type of skin cancer.

Spending lots of time in the sun on vacations or weekends is more likely to cause BCC than being outside during daily routines like walking to work.

People who work outside all day for many years, like gardeners or road workers, are much more likely to get a type of skin cancer called SCC than people who work inside, because of all the sun they’re exposed to.

People who work outside in the sun every day, especially sailors and gardeners, have a much higher chance of getting skin cancer than people who work indoors—even more than other outdoor jobs like paving roads.
