What does my number mean?

Everyone, no matter what their skin type, is susceptible to sun damage and is at risk for skin cancer. With the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Test, generally, the lower your number, the higher your risk for sun damage.

Ask a dermatologist about how your score affects your risk for sun damage.
