Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants made of tightly woven fabric. If the clothes fit loosely they will be cooler. Don't try to get a tan. Don't use tanning salons. Tanning booths damage your skin just like real sunlight does.
Some doctors think it's a good idea to do a monthly skin check.
Ask your doctor about this. If your doctor thinks it's a good idea for you, check your skin once a month for signs of skin cancer, such as moles. The earlier skin cancer is found, the greater the chance that it can be cured. Try doing your skin check on the same date every month. Pick a day that you can remember, like the date of your birthday or the day you pay bills.
