Melanoma patients should detect symptoms as early as possible

In recent years, more and more people have been diagnosed with melanoma, which has seriously affected the lives of patients. However, people do not pay much attention to the symptoms of melanoma, which directly leads to missing the best time for treatment. Therefore, we should understand the symptoms of melanoma in advance so that we can receive treatment earlier. Let's take a look at the specific manifestations of melanoma symptoms.

Symptoms of melanoma include:

1. Some of these lesions are in the form of bulges, plaques, and nodules, while others are in the form of mushrooms or cauliflowers. When they grow into the subcutaneous tissue, they appear as subcutaneous nodules or lumps, and when they spread to the surrounding areas, they appear as star-shaped black spots or small nodules. Common manifestations are regional lymph node metastasis of melanoma, and even regional lymph node enlargement leads to medical treatment. These symptoms of melanoma are relatively common.

2. Tumors in the peripheral part can be easily ignored because there is no visual abnormality. Tumors in the posterior pole or in the peripheral part but have spread to the posterior pole may cause symptoms such as flashes in front of the eyes, deformed vision, smaller vision, central dark spots, and visual field defects. The degree of visual impairment varies depending on the degree of damage to the retina. This is also a symptom of melanoma.

3. Melanoma occurs more often in middle-aged and elderly people, and is more common in men than in women. It is more common in the lower limbs and feet, followed by the trunk, head and neck, and upper limbs. The main symptoms are rapidly growing melanin nodules. Initially, melanin may occur in normal skin, or pigmented moles may increase in pigmentation and become darker. Then, the lesions continue to expand, the hardness increases, and there is an itchy and painful feeling. This is also a symptom of melanoma.

The above description is the symptoms of melanoma. I hope everyone can understand it carefully. As long as the symptoms of melanoma are discovered as early as possible, patients can control the disease in time, which will help them get regular treatment. So if you want patients to be cured early, please be more vigilant about the symptoms of melanoma. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
