In your years as a parent, you probably spent a lot of time putting sunscreen on your little ones and reminding your kids to protect their skin as they got older.
Now they’re teenagers, and they may be following a popular—but dangerous—social media trend: sun tanning. Some online personalities are posting photos and videos of themselves tanning without skin protection and showing off tans without warning about the risks.
Melanoma is less common than other skin cancers but is more likely to spread to other parts of the body if not caught early. It can become life-threatening. However, it’s often curable in the early stages, so prompt diagnosis is key.
