Be thorough: check head to toes,

front, back & sides.

Have family member check backand scalp if necessary.

Check once every month.Check once every month.


ULTRAVIOLET EXPOSURE & MELANOMAULTRAVIOLET EXPOSURE & MELANOMA

UV RADIATION FROM SUN EXPOSURE INCREASES RISK OF MELANOMA:

SPF RATING OF SUNSCREENS BASED ON UVB ONLY

REGULAR TANNING BED USE (10 TIMES OR MORE/YEAR) UNDER AGE 30 INCREASES RISK OF MELANOMA 7.7 TIMESINCREASES RISK OF MELANOMA 7.7 TIMES

HAZE, CLOUDS, COLD WEATHER, AND WATER DO NOTNOT PREVENT UV DAMAGE

LIGHT SURFACES CAUSE EXPOSURE BY REFLECTION


SUN PROTECTIONSUN PROTECTION

COMBINATION PROTECTION IS MOST EFFECTIVE:COMBINATION PROTECTION IS MOST EFFECTIVE:

- Minimize exposure from10 am to 4 pm- Stay in shade whenever possible- Wear protective clothing, including hat w/wide brim- Apply sunscreen of SPF ≥ 30 heavily and reapply oftenheavily and reapply often (choose product with UVA and UVB protection)

By the time the average person is 18 he or she has received approximately what percentage of their lifetime sun exposure?

100% 80%80% 50% 25% When adjusted for age and population, U.S. melanoma incidence is

highest in sunbelt states highest in northern stateshighest in coastal states similar in all statessimilar in all states

Three or more blistering sunburns under age 20 increase an individuals lifetime chance of developing melanoma by a factor of

1.5 2 3 4 55 Use of tanning beds 10 times or more per year under age 30

increases an individuals lifetime risk of melanoma by a factor of:2 4 6 88 10

The primary characteristic of a melanoma that determines whether it is likely to be curable or fatal is
