Tawny Willoughby is a 27-year-old mum and nurse from Alabama. She was diagnosed with skin cancer when she was 21.

She says she used to use sunbeds in high school – ‘I probably laid an average of 4-5 times a week (I laid frequently because my tan faded very fast),’ she explains on her Facebook page.

She’s had basal cell carcinoma five times and squamous cell carcinoma once (both are forms of skin cancer). She now goes to the dermatologist every 6-12 months and usually has a skin cancer removed at each checkup.

Last month, during a round of skin cancer treatment, she shared this selfie on Facebook to warn others about the dangers of tanning.

If anyone needs a little motivation to not lay in the tanning bed and sun here ya go! This is what skin cancer treatment...
