Digital Interventions to Modify Skin Cancer Risk Behaviors in a National Sample of Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Digital Interventions to Modify Skin Cancer Risk Behaviors in a National Sample of Young Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial

Adolescents in the United States have the lowest sun protection rates of all age groups [30] and engage in increased UVR exposure as they move into adulthood [31]. This time period represents a critical period in forming sun protection habits because only 25% of lifetime UVR is accumulated by age 18 years [32]. Skin cancer risk behaviors, including lack of sun protection, sunburns, and indoor tanning, peak around age 25 years [33,34].

Ichthyosiform Lichen Planus Pigmentosus in a 19-Year-Old Male Patient: Case Report

Ichthyosiform Lichen Planus Pigmentosus in a 19-Year-Old Male Patient: Case Report

LPP is a variant of LP characterized by hyperpigmented macules in sun-exposed areas and flexures of dark-skinned individuals [3]. The pigmentation is dermal and occurs without any clinical evidence of inflammation [3]. The cause of LPP is unknown. The diffuse and symmetric classical type, linear unilateral hyperpigmentation in the extremities (Blaschkoid), and segmental patterns on the trunk have been documented. Reticular, blotchy, perifollicular, annular, and gyrate patterns are also encountered [4].

A Content Analysis of Indoor Tanning Twitter Chatter During COVID-19 Shutdowns: Cross-Sectional Qualitative Study

Excessive exposure to UV radiation from either the sun or artificial sources (eg, tanning beds) is a major risk factor for skin cancer [3]. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and states across the United States enforced stay-at-home orders, forcing businesses to close their doors.

The Effects of a Parent-Focused Social Media Intervention on Child Sun Safety: Pilot and Feasibility Study

The Effects of a Parent-Focused Social Media Intervention on Child Sun Safety: Pilot and Feasibility Study

The secondary aim was to assess the preliminary effects of the SSF intervention on primary (ie, parent-rated child sun protection, UV radiation exposure, and sunburn) and secondary individual and interpersonal factors. Individual factors included knowledge about child sun safety, perceived child skin cancer risk, barriers to child sun protection, sun protection self-efficacy, planning, and sun safe habits.

The Impact of WhatsApp as a Health Education Tool in Albinism: Interventional Study

The Impact of WhatsApp as a Health Education Tool in Albinism: Interventional Study

These sun-related skin conditions increase morbidity and affect the quality of life of people with albinism. Preventing these photodermatoses includes promoting sun protection practices and educating people with albinism, which is crucial for this purpose. Studies conducted in Africa have documented that health education programs can improve compliance with sun protection practices among individuals with albinism [4,5].

Hell’s Itch: A Unique Reaction to UV Exposure

Hell’s Itch: A Unique Reaction to UV Exposure

Hell’s Itch is an inciting dermatologic reaction that can occur after sun exposure and is often characterized by symptoms such as intense pain, itching, paresthesia, and suicidal ideation. A patient with Hell’s Itch described their experience as follows: “Dozens of white-hot sewing needles being repeatedly stabbed into my upper back. The pain is unrelenting and unbearable... It drives you completely insane.” Patient accounts like this distinguish Hell’s Itch from a typical sunburn.

A Gender Lens on User Quality Ratings From Young Teenagers Assessing the Sun Safe App: Comparing Responses From Co-researchers and Participants of Pilot Intervention Studies

A Gender Lens on User Quality Ratings From Young Teenagers Assessing the Sun Safe App: Comparing Responses From Co-researchers and Participants of Pilot Intervention Studies

We developed the i OS smartphone app Sun Safe to support healthy sun practices in young teenagers (aged 12-13 years) [1]. The production involved co-design with young co-researchers (ie, aged 12-13 years) with a health message of using sun protection when the UV index is ≥3 [1]. Important features include real-time and location-specific weather data on the UV index and gamified educational content [1,2].
