I believe the rate of melanoma in countries or states such as Australia and California may be higher do to the intense awareness (especialy Australia) campains put on by sunscreen companies, to the point that most white skin people load on the sunscreen so they do not get casual sun exposure. Loading on sunscreen is almost equivalent to staying indoors. I would also wonder if the product itself is the cause. It is interesting to note that Australia has the lowest death rates of melanoma.
