How to prevent melanoma

Melanoma is a common disease in life and endangers the health of many people. People need to understand that melanoma causes great pain in the lives of patients. Understand some characteristics of melanoma, timely treatment, and pay attention to prevention. So how can we prevent melanoma?

To prevent malignant melanoma, it is not advisable to stimulate moles by using corrosive drugs or complete freezing. Because moles can often transform into melanoma due to traumatic stimulation.

To prevent malignant melanoma, you must pay attention to information about malignant transformation of moles. Information that melanoma patients should be alert to includes the following: the mole increases in size and the pigment becomes darker or lighter. The mole expands radially to the surrounding area. The mole causes pain or discomfort for no reason, and there is a small amount of exudate on the surface. The lymph nodes in the mole area are enlarged and faintly blue-black in color.

For pigmented nevi that occur in areas that are easily rubbed, a biopsy should be taken for pathological examination. And all of them should be removed as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of malignant melanoma. If a child has a large hairy nevus on the waist, before it turns malignant, the main part in the middle of the nevus can be removed as much as possible, and the two sides can be sutured. After the surrounding skin is loosened, the remaining part can be removed until the whole nevus is removed. Each specimen removed must be sent for pathological examination. If there is malignant transformation, it should be completely removed and skin grafted. This is one of the ways to prevent malignant melanoma.
