A brief analysis on how to prevent melanoma

According to recent survey statistics, there are still many melanoma patients in China, and melanoma threatens the health and lives of many people. Here are some ways to prevent melanoma .

Common ways to prevent melanoma include:

1. To prevent melanoma, we must first avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Using a sunshade is an important primary prevention measure, especially for those high-risk groups. It is even more important to strengthen education for the general public and professionals and improve the "three early" measures, namely early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.

2. For pigmented nevi that occur in areas prone to friction, biopsy and pathological examination should be performed, which is also one of the common methods to prevent melanoma. 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 can be removed as much as possible in the middle of the large hairy nevus 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.

3. Do not use corrosive drugs or complete freezing to stimulate moles, which is also a precaution for preventing melanoma. If the moles cannot be frozen off in one go and are repeatedly frozen several times, it is dangerous because moles often become malignant due to traumatic stimulation, which can lead to the formation of melanoma.
