Treatment and Prevention of Pediatric Sunburn.

Treatment and Prevention of Pediatric Sunburn. Pediatr Ann. 2019 Jun 01;48(6):e213-e214 Authors: Dowd MD Abstract Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and risk for melanoma is greatly increased with a serious sunburn in childhood or adolescence. Skin cancer also is one of the most preventable cancers, as sun exposure is an almost entirely modifiable risk factor. Proper skin protection should start early in life when infants begin to be exposed to the outdoors. [Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(6):e213-e214.]. PMID: 31185109 [PubMed - in process]
