ABSTRACT

Introduction: Sun exposure included in the appearance of melanocytic nevi. Childhood and adolescence are periods of life where the sun exposure is greatest. The main objective of this study is to establish how it influences the use of photoprotection of parents in the conduct and the number and characteristics of melanocytic nevi in children.
Material and methods: It is an observational, descriptive cross in 428 schoolchildren aged between 8 and 10 years in the city of Granada; investigated the habits of sun exposure and photoprotection of parents and children and its influence on the appearance of the melanocytic nevus.
Results: The measure of sun protection used by most parents and children was the application of sunscreen. We found that a higher number of burns increased the number of melanocytic nevi as photoprotection decreases, the number of melanocytic nevi.
Comment: We check the influence of beliefs and behaviors of parents in the number of melanocytic nevi and behavior of exposure and sun protection of children found that the photoprotection is effective in decreasing the number of melanocytic nevi.
