May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. The Skin Cancer Foundation offers this quiz to analyze your risk for skin cancer based on your lifestyle. Take the quiz today, determine your risk factor and learn more about skin cancer prevention. Please remember that this quiz is offered for educational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. Always talk to your doctor about all of your lifestyle choices and their associated cancer risks.

You can get an idea of your risk, based on the questions below, provided by the Skin Cancer Foundation. The questions and scores are based on the Fitzpatrick skin type classification, used by dermatologists to test how skin responds to ultraviolet rays from the sun, which causes us to tan or burn. Add up the numbers based on your answers.

Regardless of your score, protect yourself in the sun with sunscreen of SPF 30 or more. Pay attention to suspicious growths or changes in moles and be sure you have an annual professional skin checkup.

One in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetimes, according to current estimates.
