The Dermatology Nurses’ Association along with the Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation wants to make sure you are “SunAWARE“:

  • Avoid unprotected exposure to sunlight, seek shade, and never indoor tan.
  • Wear sun protective clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses year-round.
  • Apply recommended amounts of broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) >30 to all exposed skin and reapply every two hours, or as needed.
  • Routinely examine your whole body for changes in your skin and report concerns to a parent or healthcare provider.
  • Educate your family and community about the need to be SunAWARE.
