In fact, whether it is a skin disease or skin cancer, if skin cancer is not cured in time, it will be life-threatening. Therefore, many patients will choose surgery to treat skin cancer. Next, let's take a look at the preoperative examination and care for skin cancer.

1. Explain to skin cancer patients and their families the importance and necessity of surgery, as well as the cooperation methods and precautions during and after the operation, so that skin cancer patients can have an understanding, relieve their worries, and receive skin cancer treatment with peace of mind.
2. Skin cancer patients should prepare their skin one day before surgery. The scope depends on the site. For example, if it is on the scalp, all the hair and neck hair should be shaved off; if skin grafting is required, the skin of the grafting site should be prepared. Patients under general anesthesia should shave their pubic hair, trim their fingernails (toes), wash their hair, and take a bath. These are the common preoperative care for skin cancer.
3. Preoperative care for skin cancer Before surgery, patients with odor and ulcerated tumors should be given a 1:100 potassium permanganate solution to soak at least twice a day. On the morning of surgery, clean the affected area of ​​skin cancer, bandage it, and send it to the operating room.
4. Skin cancer patients should measure their breathing, pulse, and body temperature four times one day before surgery. If they have fever, severe cold, cough, menstruation, etc., they should report to the doctor in time to consider whether to suspend the surgery. This is also one of the preoperative care for skin cancer.
