  3. Cover your skin.  

    Stay indoors.

  4. The main cause of melanoma is too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays.

    The best way to prevent melanoma is to reduce the amount of time you spend in the sun—especially at certain times of the day—and to make sure that you are well protected when you are in the sun.

    You can also do a skin self-exam every 6 to 8 weeks. This helps ensure that you find suspicious moles early and have them checked promptly by your doctor.

    Childhood is an especially important time for sun protection.

    Protecting the skin during the first 18 years of life can reduce the risk of some types of skin cancer by up to 78%.

    Reapply sunscreen (even waterproof sunscreen) every 2 hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating.

    Wear a hat with a broad brim (4 inches wide).

    Wear sunglasses with UV-protective lenses. The label should say that the lenses block at least 99% of UV-A and UV-B radiation. Sunglasses can protect both your eyes and the skin around your eyes.

    Some medications can make you more sun-sensitive, including oral contraceptives, antibiotics, skin treatments, and medications for blood pressure, arthritis, and depression. Read the labels on your medications and talk with your doctor, to see what extra steps you may need to take when you're in the sun.  

  5. stay out the sun

    wear a wide brimmed hat, and cover up

    wear the highest sun factor cream

    get your moles regular checked by a dermatologist

  6. Stay out of the sun.  Use suncreen.  Wear a hat.  NEVER use a tanning bed.
