Results: the predisposition to suffer from skin cancer underlies endoge-nous factors (internal factors of the indi-vidual) race, diet, habits, sex, family and personal history, phototype, moles and exogenous factors (factors external to the individual), exposure to ultraviolet rays, chemicals and smoking. Conclusion: The main risk factor for developing skin cancer are the so-called ultraviolet rays from sunlight, which produce mutations in the DNA of cells that accumulate over years. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the fair-skinned population
