To often a child's skin safety is overlooked on those days spent at the beach, local pool or just playing in the backyard. I've had basal cell carcinoma three times on my nose and really think the sun exposure I had as a kid contributed greatly to this. Probably didn't help myself as an adult either as I spent most of the past twenty years working outdoors, no protection and way too much sunshine.Something I've come across is UV protective clothing. Don't think this type of clothing was around when I was a kid but now you can get UV protective clothing for everyone, from toddlers to Grandma.Amazon has clothing of this type, like this piece: "Kids UPF 50+ UV protective 100% cotton long sleeve T-shirt". Seems reasonable at $20. I found most of the UV clothing that Amazon offers and put it together in an Amazon store that I link to from my site, basalcellmohs dot com.Again, thanks for posting about the importance of early prevention with ones children. Think I'll go through my site and add a layer stressing this critical responsibility. This is great advise for parents.
