What are the key points for preventing melanoma

In life, many people are exposed to some toxic chemicals and sunlight, which can easily cause melanoma. In fact, everyone needs to pay attention to the prevention methods and pay attention to some conditioning in life to avoid causing more impact. What are the common prevention measures for melanoma?

1. Paying attention to whether moles have malignant changes at any time is one of the ways to prevent melanoma.

Once a mole has become malignant, it must be treated in time. Patients with melanoma should be alert to the following information: the mole becomes larger, the pigment becomes darker or lighter; the mole spreads radially to the surrounding area; the mole is painful or uncomfortable for no reason, and there is a small amount of exudate on the surface; the lymph nodes in the mole area are swollen, and the blue-black color can be vaguely seen. This is also a preventive measure for malignant melanoma.

2. Pigmented nevi that occur in areas prone to friction should be treated with scientific methods as soon as possible. Pigmented nevi that are prone to friction should be biopsied for pathological examination and completely 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 of the nevus can be removed as much as possible in the middle, and the two sides can be sutured. After the surrounding skin of the melanoma patient is loosened, the remaining part can be removed until the nevus is completely removed. 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. Since ultraviolet radiation is closely related to the incidence of melanoma, how to prevent melanoma also requires wearing a hat, sunglasses, an umbrella, and applying sunscreen in the summer. When going out, try to walk in the shade of trees or buildings.

Everyone should pay attention to avoid ultraviolet radiation, wear a hat and sunglasses when going out, and remember to hold an umbrella. They should take comprehensive care of themselves at ordinary times. After melanoma occurs, they should pay attention to reasonable treatment to avoid causing more pain. They should also pay attention to some health care in life and treat this disease as soon as possible.
