The main clinical symptoms of melanoma

What are the main clinical symptoms of melanoma? I believe many people have this question. Malignant melanoma is a rare malignant tumor. Let us follow the experts to learn about the clinical symptoms of melanoma .

1. Patients with malignant melanoma are generally older, and melanoma is rare in young people or children. For general tumors, age is only statistically significant, but in melanoma cases, age sometimes becomes one of the important bases for diagnosis.

2. The surface of a mole is generally smooth, while the surface of a melanoma is relatively rough. If a mole that was originally smooth suddenly becomes rough or nodular, you should be careful. Moles can be very dark in color, while melanomas can be very light in color or contain no pigment. If the pigment is unevenly distributed, and the lesion area is rich in blood vessels, and there are satellite nodules or pigment diffusion on the periphery, you should be alert. This is one of the clinical symptoms of melanoma.

3. Ulceration is an important clinical symptom of melanoma that distinguishes it from moles, and it also has prognostic significance. The prognosis of the ulcerated type is worse than that of the non-ulcerated type.
