How to prevent skin cancer and protect your skin? What are the symptoms of skin cancer

In recent years, the incidence of skin cancer has increased significantly, causing great panic among people. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job in skin cancer prevention. So what are the ways to prevent skin cancer? The following will introduce you.

What should we pay attention to in preventing skin cancer?

1. Avoid using too cold or too hot water or salt water to wash to avoid irritating the skin.

2. To prevent skin cancer in daily life, you should pay attention to avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, especially between 10 am and 3 pm, when the ultraviolet radiation is strongest. When outdoors, it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes and long pants, a hat, sunglasses, and use sunscreen products, preferably sunscreen with an SPF of 15.

3. Keep your skin clean and hygienic. For oily skin, wash it frequently with soap and warm water; for dry skin, use less soap.

4. Maintain skin elasticity. In cold seasons, you should often apply moisturizer to your skin to maintain its elasticity and softness and reduce skin cracking.

5. Protect your hair. Hair protects the scalp from external stimuli. You should trim your hair regularly, wash your hair regularly, and keep your scalp clean.

6. Clean your nails. Nails should be trimmed regularly and dirt under the front of the nails should be removed.

7. Protect the skin. Even if the skin is slightly damaged, it should be treated in time; for infected skin, it should be protected on the basis of cleaning, and properly isolated to prevent contact infection; for itchy skin, it should be prevented from secondary infection caused by scratching on the basis of active treatment; in summer, prickly heat is a sign of skin infection, and it is very important to relieve and treat prickly heat.

8. Eliminate factors related to diet. For certain skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, etc., you should limit the intake of seafood such as fish, shrimp, crab, and spicy foods.

What are the symptoms of skin cancer?

Skin cancer is a very harmful disease and is very common. We know that the cancer cells in the bodies of skin cancer patients are in a state of excessive secretion, and are in a state of disorderly growth and replication, so people will have different symptoms.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. It is a cancer that is more likely to reproduce between the ages of 30 and 50. Among skin cancers, squamous cell carcinoma is generally contracted by people over the age of 50. Squamous cell carcinoma has the characteristic of rapid onset, and this cancer will grow rapidly in a short period of time.

Squamous cell carcinoma in skin cancer is actually a disease that is common on the patient's lower lip and tongue, as well as the nose and vulva. Moreover, squamous cell carcinoma in skin cancer often occurs at the junction of the patient's skin and mucous membrane. In addition, the patient's cancer cells will rise at the edge of the ulcer, which requires active treatment.

The incidence of skin cancer is relatively low among malignant tumors, but its danger to people should not be underestimated. This disease not only affects the health of patients, but also affects their mental health. The specific hazards are as follows:

1. In the early stage of skin cancer, red patches may appear on the body. Some patients may develop papular lesions slightly higher than the skin surface, and phosphorus crusts and desquamation may appear on the skin surface. If the lesions continue to develop, characteristic signs may occur, such as translucent, shiny papular nodules, and dilation of capillaries on the skin surface causing bleeding, which will seriously affect the patient's life, not only causing discomfort but also affecting the appearance.

2. If it is in the late stage of skin cancer, as the cancer cells continue to develop, they can invade the dermis, and some poorly differentiated or poorly keratinized squamous cells will appear. The more squamous cells there are, the lower the cure rate.

3. If not detected and treated in time, skin cancer can be life-threatening, so early detection and early treatment are extremely important.
