What are the symptoms of skin cancer in children

Skin cancer is also a type of cancer, but because the incidence of skin cancer is not very high, not many people really understand skin cancer. Skin cancer is a malignant tumor, so it is difficult to treat. So, what are the symptoms of skin cancer in children? Let's take a closer look.

1. Skin cancer patients begin with soybean-sized bumps on their faces, which are relatively hard and have slightly raised edges. Symptoms of skin cancer usually occur singly, often on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, and sides of the nose. The tumors are painless and itchy, and often cause no discomfort, so they are often ignored by the elderly. However, if not treated, the tumors in skin cancer will gradually grow larger, easily rupture and bleed when touched.

2. Malignant melanoma is a skin cancer with a high degree of malignancy and rapid metastasis. The incidence rate in Western countries is very high, and the mortality rate is also very high. Chinese people have more pigments in their skin, which provides better protection against ultraviolet rays. At the same time, they also pay more attention to sun protection in their daily lives, so this type of skin cancer is relatively rare in China. Since melanoma is black in color, it is easier to find. Therefore, if black spots are found on the nails, nail beds, soles of the feet, palms or other parts of the body, and they are obvious in the near future, these are symptoms of skin cancer.

3. Eczematoid carcinoma is also a symptom of skin cancer, which usually occurs in female breasts and is unilateral. The symptoms of skin cancer are similar to those of eczema, with red or dark red skin changes, and the surface is prone to exudation or bleeding. It is mostly on one side of the areola at the beginning, and then slowly develops. Some nipples may have discharge.

The above content introduces in detail the symptoms of skin cancer patients. Once the above symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. When diagnosed with skin cancer, the patient must actively cooperate with the doctor to receive treatment to avoid the skin cancer from developing to the point where it cannot be cured.
