Signs of metastasis of malignant melanoma of the nose

When malignant melanoma of the nose may have metastasized, it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible to confirm the extent of the lesion and develop a treatment plan.

Malignant melanoma is a highly invasive skin cancer that originates from melanocytes. If it occurs in the nose, the early symptoms may be easily overlooked. When malignant melanoma of the nose metastasizes, it often metastasizes to other organs through the lymph or blood. After metastasis, the symptoms will become more complex and difficult to distinguish, such as persistent pain, increased nasal bleeding, difficulty breathing, and even abnormal discomfort in areas far from the nose.

Common signs of metastasis include lumps in the neck or armpits, which may be a sign of lymph node metastasis; persistent pain in local or more distant parts, which may indicate bone or nervous system invasion; and some patients may feel general fatigue or lose weight rapidly, which indicates that systemic spread may have occurred. If there is persistent coughing or coughing up blood, vision loss, etc., it is necessary to promptly check whether the lungs or eye tissues are involved.

To deal with the risk of metastasis, the most important thing is to have regular checkups and early detection, especially when new patches appear on the nose or existing patches become abnormally larger or darker, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner. Doctors can use imaging and biochemical tests to determine the location of the lesion and the extent of metastasis. While cooperating with the doctor's treatment plan, you should also pay attention to maintaining good health habits, balanced nutrition, and proper exercise to reduce the possibility of decreased immunity.
