Slide 13 - Possible Solutions Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, hats, UV- protective sunglasses Stay away from artificial tanning devices Teach children good sun protection habits at an early age. Damages that lead to adult skin cancers start in childhood Examine self from head to toe once every 3 months Tinted windows in automobile
Slide 14 - Year Round Protection During winter ( Reflections from snow can double the UV rays from the sun) UV radiation is not only associated with heat Clouds/ Haze- water droplets magnify UV rays. Latitude- closer to the equator, more potent sun rays. Altitude- UV radiation increases 4-5% every 1000 ft. above sea level. Reflection- water, sand, concrete and snow reflect 90% of UV rays. Photosensitive Reactions- medicines for acne or antibiotics
Slide 15 - Variety of Approach UVB causes basal, squamous cell carcinomas and melanoma. UVA causes wrinkling, leathering, photo aging because it penetrates deeper and exacerbates UVB effects.
Slide 16 - Youth Sun Care Avoid sunburns as a child. Babies under 6 months old should spend very little time in the sun. If exposed to the sun protective clothing and sunglasses should be worn. Children over 6 months should always wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 15.

Slide 21 - Best Protection Besides using a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, a regularly scheduled full-body exam by your health care professional is key to prevention! This is because melanoma can occur on areas of your body that are not exposed to the sun. It often takes a trained eye to spot melanoma in early stages.
Slide 22 - Self Examination You should examine yourself regularly The best time to do this is after a bath or shower, standing in front of a full length mirror. Use a handheld mirror to help you view areas that are difficult to see. If you notice any odd-looking mole or marking, contact your doctor ASAP!
