Wear protective, tightly-woven clothing. Dark colors, long sleeves and long pants provide the best protection. Wear a hat with a wide, circular brim to protect your face, scalp and neck. Wear sunglasses with ultraviolet protection. Tinted glasses with no ultraviolet protection are actually worse than no sunglasses, as the diminished visible light allows the pupil to dilate and admit more of the damaging ultraviolet radiation.
Malignant melanoma can develop in the retina of the eye.
Stay away from tanning beds.
