How many months/years does it take for a sunburn to become skin cancer?
I have heard that sunburns do not become skin cancer immediately. How many months or years does it take for a sunburn to become skin cancer?
My friend recently had a sunburn. Her sunburn was not healing and it became worse, so she went to a dermatologist 3 months after the sunburn happened. The dermatologist found that she has skin cancer. Could it be that she had skin cancer all along, and the recent sunburn did not cause her cancer?

No one knows how many hours, days, weeks, years one can spend in the sun before getting skin cancer.
What else is that you do not have to burn to get it… tanning can give you skin cancer as well (both in sun beds and actual sun).
Its always best to wear at least 15 spf (30 is better) and to not go tanning.
