He doesn't think it's cancerous, but says it's best I get it removed in case it turns into something.“Now I don't think it's worth the risk and I use fake tan instead, it can be quite dangerous.”But just how dangerous are sunbeds and is the risk really that great?Sunbeds are machines designed to artificially replicate the sun and cause the skin to tan as if it has sunlight on it.The contraptions give off ultraviolet (UV) rays, often in greater doses than the sun would at midday in a tropical environment.
