"The sunscreen industry is hiding the truth."⁠
⁠
Let me address this directly, because it's the emotional core of the entire anti-sunscreen movement.⁠
⁠
The argument: dermatologists and sunscreen companies are part of some secret cabal that profits from your sun damage and skin cancer. So our recommendations can't be trusted.⁠
⁠
I understand why the narrative is compelling. There is documented history of industries minimizing health risks when they have a financial incentive to do so.⁠
⁠
But let me be clear about what I actually see:⁠
⁠
I see patients with melanoma. I see the surgeries. I have the conversations where we tell someone that the thing on their back that "wasn't a big deal" has now spread inside their body.⁠
⁠
I have no financial incentive to tell you to wear sunscreen. It actually provides less work for me to do. ⁠
