Q: Prevention Question

I have a question about my 20 year old daughter. She has now had 5 moderately atypical dysplastic nevi removed (one five years ago and now four more in the last five months). Our family history is positive for melanoma (my brother and aunt died from it).
Besides regular skin checks and sun protection, is there anything else that can be done to prevent these from coming back? They were removed mostly from non-sun exposed sites. Any ideas?
Thanks
