Jamie,

It often happens that pigmentation of the skin is prevented from occuring in the immediate surrounding of moles. This is due to the presence of waste matter and toxins associated with moles. The skin pigment melanin cannot be formed properly in their presence.

Regarding the answer to your sunscreen question, please see the excerpt from my book Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation, http://www.ener-chi.com, below. As you will see, there is more hamr done by blocking out UV rays than letting them come into your body.

...."The sun is completely harmless unless we expose our bodies to it for unduly long periods of time, especially between 10am and 3pm (during the summer). Overexposure to sunlight makes most people feel very hot and bothered and burns their skin. To avoid being burnt and to find relief, our body’s natural instinct urges us to look for a shady place or to take a cold shower. Sunscreens, however, interfere with our natural response to sunlight.
A British medical report, released in July 1996 and published as the lead article in the prestigious British Medical Journal, showed that the use of sunscreens might encourage skin cancer because they prompt people to stay in the sun far too long. Their use can postpone the onset of sunburn by many hours. Most people think that this is advantageous whereas in fact it puts their lives at risk. The doctors who edited the report cited studies conducted in 1995 in Western Europe and Scandinavia, which showed that frequent users of sunscreen lotion actually suffered disproportionately higher rates of skin cancer. The report says: “Sunscreens containing only ultraviolet B blocks protect against sunburn and therefore enable greater exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) than would otherwise be possible to obtain.” In other words, many sunbathers expose themselves to much more UVA than they would if they didn’t use screens. Sunburn in fact is the body’s natural defense response against more serious damage such as skin cancer.
Without sunscreen your skin would begin to itch uncomfortably if it was exposed to too much sunlight. However, by using a sunscreen, you would not notice when your body has had enough of it because your first line of defense -- sunburn -- has been crippled. This would lead to overexposure of UVA that together with other internal toxins might cause skin cancer. Under normal conditions (without sunscreen) you would never get too much UVA even if you were lying in the sun for five hours. Instead, you would burn your skin heavily through overexposure to UVB.
Although sunburn can impair immune functions and damage the skin, there is no proof that it can cause skin cancer. The above report stated that medical experts know “little about the precise relation between sunburn and skin cancer.” This includes the fatal type of skin cancer, the malignant melanoma. Despite the enormous amount of research done on skin cancers, there has been no indication that malignant melanoma has any links with UV exposure. But what is known for sure is that sunscreen does not only fail to prevent skin cancer but on the contrary encourages it by amplifying UVA exposure. This makes sunscreens more dangerous than UV light could ever be.
The question remains whether sunscreens that are made to block out both the UVA and UVB radiation could solve the problem? Research has shown that they don’t prevent skin cancer either. There are more people suffering from skin cancer today who have no or only very little exposure to sunlight. Those who live mostly outdoors, at high altitudes, or near the equator, have the lowest incidence of skin cancers. But those who work under artificial lighting are the most susceptible.
The average American, for example, spends twenty-two hours a day indoors beneath and around artificial light. During the winter season most of the working population in the cities never even get to see the daylight, except through windows that reflect UV light. Incandescent light has a narrow band compared to sunlight and is known to weaken natural immunity (a Russian study showed that workers who are exposed to UV light during working hours suffer 50% fewer colds than those who are deprived do). A weak immune system cannot properly defend itself against disease, and that includes skin cancer!
Researcher Dr. Helen Shaw and her research team conducted a melanoma study at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Sydney Melanoma Clinic, Sydney Hospital, and found that office workers had twice the incidence of the deadly cancer as people who work outdoors. The results of the study were published in 1982 by the British medical journal Lancet. Dr. Shaw proved that those who spend most of their time sunbathing have the lowest risk of developing skin cancer. By contrast, office workers who were exposed to fluorescent light during most of their working days had the highest risk of developing melanomas. She also discovered that fluorescent lights cause mutations in cultures of animal cells.
Dr. Shaw’s research lead to the conclusion that both in Australia and Great Britain, melanoma rates were high among professional and office workers, and low in people working outdoors. In other words, the Australians and British would be better off spending more time outside where there is plenty of UV light! Similar controlled studies were conducted at the New York University School of Medicine, which confirmed and substantiated Dr. Shaw’s research results."
