The good and bad of sun exposure

YOUR HEALTH
DR. DONOHUE
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am the mother of six children. The oldest is a boy, 18, and the youngest a girl, 6. All my children spend their free time outdoors. The boy is a lifeguard at an outdoor pool. Two of my daughters play baseball and practice all the time. The rest are outside, too. These kids are exposed to sunlight just about every day. Are they going to come down with skin cancer? -- R.C.
