Hello . Thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. Kakkar ( Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
Ultraviolet Rays (the spectrum of sun light which usually causes skin cancer) are the strongest in direct sunlight and at particular time of the day, 10AM - 3 PM.. So if you are not exposed to direct sunlight then you need not worry about skin cancer.
