Sun Protection Tips

Here are some very helpful sites to learn more about sun protection. You will find the website links on top (which may work best if you are using a smartphone), and the embedded website below, which works better if you are using a larger screen on an laptop or desktop computer

Let's start with a link from the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/skin/basic_info/sun-safety.htm

The next website is from the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), which provides many resources about the types and treatment of skin cancer, how to identify it, how to prevent it, and, importantly how to raise awareness! It also has a Spanish translation of everything!

The next link from the Melanoma Research Alliance focuses on the deadliest of all skin cancer, MELANOMA, and is an excellent website detailing everything you need to know about melanoma!

The Skin Cancer Foundation is also a very active and important organization that has many resources on skin cancer prevention, awareness events, and recommended products. It is geared toward the U.S. market so some excellent sunscreens available in Europe and other countries may not be listed (yet).

While the above mentioned websites generally talk about sun protection, our own United States Tennis Association (USTA) is making efforts to specifically educate on "Sun Dangers for Tennis Players". Here is the link:

This link to The Society for Pediatric Dermatology has a variety of pamphlets, including the one below about the importance on sun protection: https://pedsderm.net/site/assets/files/1028/spd_sun_protection_color_web-2_final.pdf
