Try to be out of the sun from about 10:00am-4:00pm,this is when the sun's rays are the strongest. While you are outside you need to have on sunscreen that's at least 30SPF. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and cover up with clothing. If you notice any changes to your skin like new moles, call a doctor as soon as possible. A treatment is Mohs Micrographic surgery, Radiation, or laser surgery. These are a few of the many skin cancer treatments.

Radiation from the suns ultraviolet rays are the main cause of skin cancer, one of the main reasons people get skin cancer is due to over exposure to the sun. Another way you can get skin cancer is by spending lots of your time in tanning beds. Another way is when a close relative has had skin cancer in the past.
