Because most skin changes are related to sun exposure, prevention is a lifelong process. Prevent sunburn if at all possible. Use a good quality sunscreen when outdoors, even in the winter. Wear protective clothing and hats as necessary. Good nutrition and adequate fluids are also helpful.
Dehydration increases the risk of skin injury.
Sometimes, minor nutritional deficiencies can cause rashes , skin lesions , and other skin changes even if no other symptoms are present.
