I went away to America last week and although I kept applying sun cream one of my children got sunburn on their shoulders and back it was red and then peeled back to normal after a few days but I’m so upset and worried I’ve put him at a higher risk of skin cancer in later life 😔 I keep reading articles stating just one episode of sunburn in childhood can double chances of melanoma. Has this ever happened to anyone else any advice please x
