Back in 4th grade, I went on a school trip to Florida and absolutely fried myself out there... I had some pretty nasty burns, and my skin was basically peeling off for a week straight. It was a total nightmare, though luckily I didn't end up with any lasting damage at the time... anyway, getting to the point...

What are my actual chances of developing skin cancer later in life because I was so reckless back then? I read somewhere that "skin has a memory," and if you get a massive sunburn as a kid, it might not show up as cancer until much later in life...

I'm 18 now... I doubt anything will happen right away, but you never really know what might pop up down the road... and honestly, probably nothing even now...

Why on earth are you even entertaining that thought? Are you some kind of blonde? A redhead? Or maybe you're just covered in freckles?

Brightly lit paths, but my back is covered in scars

Do you have blonde or red hair? Any freckles?

Honestly, I don't think you need to stress yourself out over this. Just make sure you go for regular checkups; if there are any "suspicious" spots, a dermatologist can just take them off for you.
