" Be vigilant about sun protection on your summer getaway: A recent study found that kids who frequently vacationed at the shore (lake or beach) were 5% more likely to get a nevus, a type of mole that&amp;#039;s a risk factor for melanoma. Albert C. Yan, MD, chief of pediatric dermatology at Children&amp;#039;s Hospital of Philadelphia, suggests following these guidelines:   Don&amp;#039;t Skimp on Sunscreen Most of us don&amp;#039;t apply enough to get the full SPF protection. Use a small shot glass worth of at least SPF 30 or 45 that has titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone (Parsol 1789) or ecamsule (Mexoryl SX). Reapply every two to four hours.   Consider Sun-Protective Clothing Don&amp;#039;t forget sunglasses with UV protection (look for it on the label) and a broad-brimmed hat.   Limit Peak Exposure  For part of your vacation, try going to the beach just in the morning or late afternoon and do indoor activities like museums during the middle of the day. &amp;quot;This helps you avoid sun when it&amp;#039;s the strongest and can cause the most damage,&amp;quot; says Dr. Yan. If you are near the water at peak times, set up an umbrella for kids to sit under between swims. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
