What are the methods for checking skin cancer

Although skin cancer is not very common in our daily lives, there are still a few people who suffer from it. This disease mainly refers to the occurrence of malignant tumors on the patient's skin. The symptoms after the disease occurs are very similar to those of other skin diseases. This requires patients to use some examination methods to confirm the diagnosis in time. So what are the examination methods for skin cancer?

1. Skin cancer patients should first be examined through biopsy pathology. This examination method is mainly used to classify skin cancer. Only after this examination can it be determined what type of skin cancer the patient has, which will help choose the treatment method later.

2. Skin cancer patients should also differentiate between basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Generally, basal cell carcinoma mainly occurs on the face, especially the nose, forehead, eyes and cheekbones. The degree of damage is relatively slow, and there will be no local congestion. Squamous cell carcinoma can occur in any part of the body, especially the skin and mucous membranes of patients are more likely to suffer from this disease.

3. Skin cancer patients should also be differentiated from seborrheic keratosis, which is also known as senile warts. This disease is generally common in men over 50 years old, and mostly occurs on the patient's face, neck, chest and other parts of the body. The lesions are also circular rashes slightly higher than the skin. The number of rashes is also uncertain. Generally, patients have many skin lesions.

The above are the examination methods for skin cancer. I believe that through the above content, everyone has a certain understanding of the examination methods for this disease. If you suspect that you have this disease after understanding it, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that you can receive timely treatment after the disease is confirmed. Only with timely treatment can there be hope of recovery.
