What are the common symptoms of skin cancer?

Nowadays, people's pace of life and work are accelerating. Therefore, many people do not pay much attention to the details of life, which leads to many diseases taking advantage of the situation. Today, let's take a look at the common symptoms of skin cancer. Below is a detailed introduction of our article.

1. Squamous cell carcinoma is often transformed from keratosis, leukoplakia and other precancerous diseases. It grows quickly and forms ulcers in the early stage. Some are nodular or cauliflower-shaped, with less invasion into the deep part and a movable base; some are butterfly-shaped, with more obvious infiltration into the deep part, great destructiveness, and often involving bones. Squamous cell carcinoma is often accompanied by purulent infection, accompanied by foul odor and pain.

2. Basal cell carcinoma is often asymptomatic at the onset. In the early stage, it is mostly plaque-like papules with hard bases, and some are wart-like protrusions, which then break down into ulcers. They are irregular, with raised edges, like craters, and uneven bottoms, and grow slowly. Metastasis is rare, and the ulcers are shallowly ulcerated with translucent nodules on the edges, which then gradually expand and can erode surrounding tissues and organs, becoming erosive ulcers.

3. Squamous cell carcinoma is more common in people aged 30 to 50, while basal cell carcinoma is more common in people over 50. The former develops quickly and often grows rapidly in a short period of time; the latter develops slowly. Squamous cell carcinoma is more common in the lower lip, tongue, nose, vulva, and at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane. The ulcer has a high edge, is red and hard, and is ring-shaped and cauliflower-like in appearance. The surrounding inflammatory reaction is significant, and there are often regional lymphadenopathy.

The above are some common symptoms of skin cancer given by experts. If you find the above symptoms in your life, you must go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. Do not ignore them. In the end, you will be the only one who gets hurt. I hope everyone must keep this in mind.
