  We analytically calculate the energy, magnetization curves (B(H)), and
elasticity of skyrmion flux lattices in p-wave superconductors near the lower
critical field H_c1, and use these results with the Lindemann criterion to
predict their melting curve. In striking contrast to vortex flux lattices,
which always melt at an external field H > H_c1, skyrmion flux lattices never
melt near H_c1. This provides a simple and unambiguous test for the presence of
skyrmions.
