[quote=Anonymous]We are on vacation at the beach and my 7 year old got a mild sunburnt. He was wearing protection and he sweats and I guess rubbed it off when the sun was still too strong (5.30ish pm). Anyway, not worried about him, doesn't hurt, it is only a bit reddish, will take a break from the sun tomorrow etc. But I did a quick google search and found this http://m.cdc.gov/en/HealthSafetyTopics/DiseasesConditions/Cancer/Skin/children 'Tan? There's no other way to say it—tanned skin is damaged skin. Any change in the color of your child's skin after time outside—whether sunburn or suntan—indicates damage from UV rays' Now, it is inevitable that at the end of the summer everybody's skin color has changed a little. I didn't know this is considered 'damaged skin'?! I am quite shocked. I even thought that we all (incl. kids) do build some resistance to the sun by the end of the summer, even though we have to keep applying sunscreen etc. Looks like I was wrong?![/quote]
