Abstract
Swedish children are frequently sunburnt and children living in the south are more sunburnt than those in the north. Sunscreens that were seldom used or not used at all were found to be protective. These results support previous reports that photosensitive skin type is an important risk factor for suffering sunburn as a child and therefore increases the risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma.
