Re: There's no such thing as a 'safe' suntan, researchers warn
Hi I've read some interesting research from M.D. Anderson in Houston linking some melanoma to hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed with a melanoma in October of 2001 and found out I had hypothyroidism in February 2002. I wonder if the hypothyroidism causes melanin to build up in the body in some way? I know hypothyroidism can slow down apoptosis of cells. Staying out of the sun since then has caused vitamin D deficiency in me so I now take supplements.
