does the sun give you birthmarks?

[avrilishot]

Well lately I have been outside alot. tons of yard work and stuff. I have noticed that I have been getting birthmarks more on my face than ever.

so what I was wondering, is this from the sun or what? I remember hearing awhile back that to much sun will do this to you. so could someone please clear this up for me?

Ummm, they're called birthmarks for a reason.

Could be sun spots, freckles, or moles. It could be a combination of too much sun and genetics (if your parents have sensetive skin, you will too). I would recommand to use sunscreen if you spend alot of time outdoors and to go see a dermatologist just to be sure.

While your post made me laugh at first (birthmarks are only from BIRTH), it made me concerned quickly. I really think you should go see a doctor or dermatologist ASAP. Not trying to scare you or anything, but it could be skin cancer. Just be really careful, wear sun screen, and don't stay out too long. Getting a tan is overrated.

Probably sun damage.

Look at your face under a UV light. If you've had a lot of sun exposure, you'll look pretty heinous under the light.
