Here's a paper from dermatologists about healthy skin:
"Early initiation of sun protection behaviors by parents and consistent use throughout life can help decrease a childīs lifetime risk of developing skin cancer," stated Dr. Johnson. "Modeling the use of sunscreen and other sun-protection habits, such as the wearing sun-protective clothing, hats and sunglasses, and seeking shade whenever possible, is an important way to teach your children these skills."
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin. Warts occur more easily if the skin has been damaged in some way, which explains the high frequency of warts in children who are prone to cuts and scrapes, and who bite their nails or pick at hangnails. In children, warts can disappear without treatment over a period of several months to years. However, warts that are bothersome, painful, or rapidly multiplying should be treated by a dermatologist. There are many treatments for warts, including topical treatments that are applied directly to the wart such as salicylic acid, liquid nitrogen or cantharidin.
