Question

If a person is considered to be "High Risk" for the development of skin cancer, what are some preventative measures?

Answer 1

Wear sun screen, don't stay out in the sun to long, and you can see a doctor on more measures to protect your skin if you have or have a high risk of skin cancer.

Answer 2

Reducing exposure to UV radiation, particularly by reducing time spent in the sun and avoiding indoor tanning, lowers the risk of developing skin cancer. This is important for people of all ages and is especially important for people who have other risk factors (see above). Sun damage builds up over time.
