Now more and more people are beginning to pay attention to skin health. According to surveys, many people have begun to use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. However, prevention alone is not enough.

The first type of skin cancer is malignant melanoma. The symptoms of skin cancer include the following four aspects:

1. Moles with asymmetrical shapes and uneven surfaces need attention.

2. The edges are rough and sometimes have cracks, which is the opposite of the smooth edges of normal moles.

3. The colors are mostly mixed, especially brown or ink black, and sometimes red, white and blue.

4. The diameter of melanoma is usually larger than 1/4 cm.

The second and third types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Their common skin cancer symptoms include the following 4 aspects

1. Long-term lesions: If sudden growths appear on parts of the body exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, back of the hands, chest, back, etc., and do not disappear for a long time, you should pay attention to it and be vigilant about acne that does not disappear for a long time.

2. Bleeding: These two types of skin cancer will bleed with just a slight stimulation, while most common skin diseases do not have this feature.

3. Scabbing condition: If the skin scabs for no reason, especially if the scabs do not disappear for a long time, you need to pay close attention.

4. If the skin surface is scaly with secretions or surface nodules or ulcers that do not heal, you need to get checked as soon as possible.

5. If there are certain unusual phenomena on the skin, such as certain spots shining like pearls, or microvessels visible to the naked eye, you should also pay attention.
