Guide To Prevention And Treatment Options For Moles

Wear Sunscreen

The best way to prevent moles from forming is to wear sunscreen. Sunscreen is especially important to prevent moles from becoming cancerous. Individuals should apply sunscreen every day, even in the winter. The sunscreen should be broad-spectrum and have a sun protective factor (SPF) or at least thirty, though higher is excellent. In addition to wearing sunscreen daily, individuals should reapply the sunscreen approximately every two hours if they are spending time outdoors. This ensures that the protection will be effective throughout the entire day and not run out. Sunscreen is an individual’s best defense at preventing skin cancer. One major sign of skin cancer, of course, is the development of abnormal moles.
