Sun damage can cause skin cancer, the most dangerous of which is melanoma.
To prevent skin cancer we must begin early with our children. Sun damage to skin is cumulative. Children and adolescents who experience a single blistering sunburn are twice as likely to develop skin cancer in later life. Now that our long snowy winter has finally ended it is important to review good sun protection strategies. Beware of reflective surfaces.
