net effect of this is that teenagers are contracting skin cancer at an alarming rate. This can be fatal if not treated in its infancy and more often than not it is totally preventable.
Education is extremely important and all of us need to be conscious of just what the sun can do to our skin. Not only in the case of children. Macho males go on the beach and will not apply lotion as it does not fit in with their image.
Older folk assume that as they have had a lifetime of sun worship without protection then their skin is used to the sun so will not develop problems. Mums apply lotion to the kids but don’t think they need it.
The fact of the matter is that we all need to use the right sun protection and educate our kids the proper use of lotions They also require to have a knowledge of the consequences of not doing so.
Many beaches now have patrols and these individuals have one job in life and that is to see the first indications of burning and to educate beach users on the dangers they face. Having passed on this practical information many people carry on to ignore the warnings.
The correct sun protection does not have to be expensive and when you consider the possible results of not using it then I think that everyone should all use a little more common sense and try to guard our familys from agonising treatments, disfigurement and possible death.
