Early symptoms of malignant melanoma and skin cancer

Skin cancer also has different severity levels, among which malignant melanoma is the most dangerous. Observing the early symptoms of skin cancer is a good way to identify malignant melanoma, and it can also be discovered and treated in time to kill malignant melanoma in its early stages. The following points should be noted when detecting malignant melanoma in the early symptoms of skin cancer .

1. Edges. Normal moles have smooth edges, while malignant melanomas, which are early symptoms of skin cancer, have rough edges and sometimes cracks, which are easier to distinguish.

2. Diameter. Among the early symptoms of skin cancer, malignant melanomas with a diameter less than 6mm are rare, so you should pay special attention to larger moles, especially the elderly, who always have some moles on their skin.

3. Color. Among the early symptoms of skin cancer, malignant melanoma has a special mixed color, especially brown or ink black, sometimes mixed with red, white and blue.

4. Asymmetry. People with asymmetrical shapes and uneven surfaces should be aware that this may be an early symptom of skin cancer, because malignant melanoma is uneven.

Especially for the elderly, due to poor skin quality, the early symptoms of skin cancer are similar to those of the elderly, which can be easily confused. Therefore, in the care of the elderly, special attention should be paid to identifying the skin condition and promptly detecting the early symptoms of skin cancer to avoid major malignant diseases.
