Prevention of melanoma

The mainspring of melanoma is too much exposure to sunlight and UV rays. For this reason it’s advisable to reduce the amount of time spent in the sun as well as to protect the skin while being in the sun. It’s also a good idea to do a skin self-check every 6 – 8 weeks so as to find suspicious moles and have them quickly checked by a doctor.
