ABSTRACT
Education is the cornerstone of melanoma prevention. Well-child examinations are an excellent opportunity to educate patients and parents about melanoma risk factors and prevention. The only modifiable risk factor for the development of melanoma and acquisition of nevi is level of sun exposure. Every patient who is evaluated for a melanocytic lesion should be educated about sun avoidance during midday, protective clothing including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats with brims, and playing in shaded areas when outdoors. Proper application and appropriate uses of sunscreen should also be reviewed.
