Some preventive measures for melanoma in life

Many patients do not know about melanoma and do not receive timely treatment and prevention, which leads to an increasing incidence rate. So what are the preventive measures for melanoma ? The following is a detailed answer from relevant experts.

For pigmented nevi that occur in areas prone to friction, biopsy should be performed for pathological examination. For example, if a child has a large hairy nevus on the waist, it is often rubbed and squeezed by the belt, so it should be completely removed as soon as possible. If it is difficult to remove all of it at once, the main part of the large hairy nevus can be removed as much as possible in the middle before it becomes malignant, and the two sides can be sutured. After the surrounding skin is loosened, the remaining part can be removed until the nevus is completely removed to prevent malignant transformation. Each specimen removed must be sent for pathological examination. If there is malignant transformation, it should be completely removed and skin grafting should be performed.

2. It is not advisable to stimulate moles with corrosive drugs or complete freezing. If the moles cannot be frozen off in one time and are repeatedly frozen several times, it is dangerous, because moles often become malignant due to traumatic stimulation. It is reported that some people have become malignant due to incomplete freezing. About 30% to 50% of malignant melanomas are related to external stimulation. If it is necessary for beauty, it is safer and more reliable to remove the mole at one time. Cryotherapy combined with excision should be completed in one time. Do not remove in multiple times. The excised specimens should be sent for pathological examination. This is also one of the preventive measures for melanoma.

The above is an introduction to the prevention of melanoma. I hope everyone will actively take relevant preventive measures. If you want to know more about melanoma, please consult online experts.
