What are the ways to prevent melanoma

What are the ways to prevent melanoma? Currently, melanoma has become the most worrying dermatological disease for many people. However, due to the many treatment methods currently available for melanoma, many melanoma patients do not know how to choose. So, how to prevent melanoma? Let's answer it together.

To prevent melanoma, you should try to avoid sun exposure. Using a sunshade is an important primary prevention measure, especially for those at high risk. 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.

How can melanoma be prevented?

1. For pigmented nevi that occur in areas prone to friction, biopsy should be performed for pathological examination. 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 of the large hairy nevus can be removed as much as possible in the middle 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.

2. Do not use corrosive drugs or complete freezing to stimulate moles. If the moles cannot be frozen off in one go and are frozen several times, it is dangerous because moles often become malignant due to traumatic stimulation, leading to the formation of melanoma.

Prevention: Avoiding sun exposure as much as possible and using sunshades are important primary prevention measures, 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.

Dermatologists suggest: Melanoma must be taken seriously. It is very important to check for melanoma as early as possible. Melanoma should be discovered and treated scientifically to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity for melanoma. For your health, please choose a regular dermatology medical institution and receive treatment.
