Yes,
Children Need Extra Protection
Children and teenagers have more sensitive skin than adults, so they need extra protection if they are going to be out in the sun for a long time. Sunburn may increase the risk of skin cancer later in life, so it is best to get children used to wearing protective clothing and sunscreen lotion from the start.
At the very least, young children should wear a sunhat, T-shirt, and shorts. When you put sunscreen on children, pay special attention to the parts that are most exposed, including their ears, face, neck, shoulders and back, knees, and the tops of their feet. Avoid using sunscreen on babies. Cover them and keep them in the shade instead.

This would be very rare indeed. Overexposure to the sun can result in skin cell changes that may manifest later in life as one form of skin cancer. There are more than one type of skin cancer.

Yes, it [cancer] is not age discriminary. If you suspect that a child has a cancerous growth, you should seek immediate medical attention for the child. You may want to study the websites below for additional information...
