Not likely just one, but beware. Repeated sun exposure can most definately cause skin cancer. And skin cancer can happen at any age, young or old. Always wear sunscreen between the hours of 10 am and 3pm, especially if you have fair skin. Watch for any abnormal or asymetrical moles or growths on your skin. Wear a hat that protect your head, ears, and face from sun exposure. Good luck.

One bad sunburn won't cause skin cancer. It's the accumulation of a lot of radiation from the sun over time that causes skin cancer - this is why it's more often found in older people. Just try to wear sunscreen every time you'll be out in the sun, and make sure you get any suspicious-looking moles checked out.

One bad one won't cause it, but it is proven that even one really bad sunburn puts you at a greater risk for skin cancer than if you never had a bad sunburn.

It CAN. Doesn't mean it WILL.
Chances go up every time you get a bad sunburn. They even go up (but just a little) every time you get a tan. Both sunburn and tan are your skin's reaction to the UV in sunlight - the same thing that (potentially) causes cancer. Don't get overly worked up and worried about it, but take precautions.

Any sun exposure can potentially cause skin cancer. It doesn't have to even be a bad sunburn (althought it usually is).

This however depends on your risk factor for getting skin cancer. Are you fair skinned? Do you have lots of moles? Do you have skin or other cancers in the family history? All of this depends. However, one burn wont' do it if everything else is equal.

i read in readers digest that a 20 year old woman was sunbatheing and noticed something and went to the doctor and found out that it was skin cancer on her leg. i dont know how many times she was in the sun but i do think that pale skin and moles have something to do with it so i would be careful no matter what skin tone you are. hope i could help.
