Many Hispanics especially those that have not been in the U.S. for long periods of time tend to ignore sun-safety procedures that most others follow.
A recent study by dermatologists pointed out that many Hispanics “misunderstand” their risk for skin cancer or melanoma. Many do so because they already have dark skin tones and assume there is no risk for skin cancer.
Hispanics that have lived in the U.S for many years and have a command of the English language tend to wear sun screen but do not follow other sun safety procedures such avoiding the sun, covering up when working out doors, etc… .
