Melanoma may be caused by sun exposure

Melanoma can be caused by sun exposure, and agricultural workers are more likely to get the disease than the average person. Do you want to know what causes melanoma ? Let the authoritative experts explain it to us below, hoping to help everyone.

The main causes of melanoma are:

1. Benign melanin plaques are moles, among which junctional moles are most likely to become malignant, mixed moles are less likely, and endothelial moles rarely become malignant. However, most scalp melanomas are not transformed from moles, so some people believe that the cause of melanoma is not entirely related to moles.

2. Sunlight and ultraviolet radiation can also easily lead to the occurrence of melanoma. Scalp melanoma is more common in exposed parts. According to Israeli statistics, the incidence of melanoma among agricultural workers is 15.4/100,000, which is higher than that in cities. Residents living in coastal areas have a higher incidence than those living in mountainous areas. Since the 1980s, the incidence of melanoma has increased by more than 1 times, which is estimated to be related to the destruction of the atmospheric ozone layer and excessive exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays. These are all causes of melanoma.

3. Other factors such as genetics, trauma, chronic mechanical stimulation, etc. can also lead to the occurrence of melanoma, and therefore may also be the cause of melanoma.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the causes of melanoma, and I hope it can help you answer your questions. Experts remind that if you cannot distinguish the type of disease, the best way is to go to the hospital for examination. Do not take medicine at random according to your own will, which will worsen the condition or cause other diseases.
