'Diehard' tanner left with hole in face after skin cancer diagnosis

A self-described “diehard” tanner is speaking out about the dangers of forming such a habit after she was left with a hole in her nose and staples in her face when she developed skin cancer.

Rebekah Rupp, of Oklahoma, said she would visit the tanning booth up to six times a week at the height of her tanning obsession, but in 2018 she noticed a spot on her cheek, according to MDW Features.

The spot on her cheek wasn’t as concerning to her dermatologist as a white spot on her nose, which 41-year-old Rupp hadn’t thought anything of.

My college aged daughter wouldn't quit using tanning beds until she had a precancerous mole removed. She's now happily white, like she was meant to be, and happily married. Still the prettiest girl in the room, without a tan.

That's vanity, not stupidity. We all have vanity and want to look good. Do you comb your hair, brush your teeth, change your clothes? You are no different. Then again, maybe you're right. You CAN'T fix stupid, if you do not get what I'm saying.
