Late metastasis of melanoma can be fatal

Malignant melanoma is a skin disease with a high mortality rate. It is often ignored in the early stages. When it metastasizes in the late stages, it is too late to treat it. So, what are the differences in the symptoms of malignant melanoma at different stages? Let's ask experts to tell us in detail about the symptoms of malignant melanoma .

Symptoms of early malignant melanoma: ① Color: Most malignant melanomas are mixed with brown, black, red, white or blue. When a skin mole changes color, you should be particularly vigilant. ② Edges: Often jagged and serrated, caused by the spread of the tumor or spontaneous degeneration. ③ Surface: Not smooth. Often rough with scaly or flaky desquamation. Sometimes there is exudate or bleeding, and the lesion may be higher than the skin surface. ④ The skin around the lesion may become edematous or lose its original skin luster or turn white or gray. ⑤ Abnormal sensation: It is often itchy, burning or tender to the local area. When the above changes occur, it strongly suggests the suspicion of malignant melanoma. It can be said that once any changes in the skin mole occur, an excisional biopsy should be performed to remove the malignant melanoma. This is no exaggeration.

The symptoms of late-stage malignant melanoma are mainly manifested in: some melanoma lesions are in the form of bulges, plaques and nodules, and some 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, star-shaped black spots or small nodules appear. Common manifestations are regional lymph node metastasis of melanoma, and even regional lymph node enlargement leads to medical treatment. In the late stage, the blood flow metastasizes to the lungs, liver, bones, brain and other organs.
