What can you do for prevention from Melanoma?

Since UV irradiation secured the most important risk factor, the essential task of primary prevention in the prevention of acute sun fires, especially in children and adolescents.
Persons who are a risk group (lighter skin, many moles, melanoma within the family), should at least once annually by a dermatologist examined.
For people with many moles is the digital Illumination microscopy available. 
UV radiation
UV (Ultraviolet radiation), in addition to visible light (32 percent) and the infra-red radiation (65 percent) a small part of the sunlight comes to Earth. It is electromagnetic waves. After the wavelength of UV radiation is divided into:
UVA (400 - 320 nm = nanometer)
UVB (320 - 280 nm)
UVC (below 280 nm)
The percentage of UVA accounts for about 90 to 95 percent, this percentage is different depending on the altitude. In the high mountains, the total amount of UV radiation, especially the proportion of UVB to (20 per cent per 1,000 meters). The percentage of UVA (not the quantity!) Takes charge accordingly.
Depending just what former the radiation is, the more energetic she is. UVB is energetic than UVA and skin damage potency is greater. UVC radiation is the highest-energy ultraviolet radiation. It is for living dangerously, but by the ozone layer of the atmosphere almost completely filtered out. However, high-pressure mercury vapor lamps (“Height sun") significant quantities of them.
