Prevention strategies are crucial in reducing the risk of SCC in children, especially those with known risk factors. These strategies include:
Using broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and reapplying it regularly. Wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to minimize sun exposure. Avoiding tanning beds and unnecessary exposure to UV radiation. Regular skin checks and prompt evaluation of suspicious lesions. For children with genetic predispositions, close monitoring and early intervention are essential.
