    The study suggests that the melanoma risk is linked more closely to total exposure than it is to the age at which an individual first uses a tanning bed. [23] Frequent tanning also has behavioural reinforcing effects, [24] following UVA radiation epidermal keratinocytes synthesize POMC inducing the production of β-Endorphins, which are opioid ...

Genetic predispositions, such as xeroderma pigmentosum [17] and certain forms of epidermolysis bullosa, [18] also increase susceptibility to cSCC.
