What is the prevention of melanoma

Melanoma is a disease caused by melanin. It has a high incidence rate and a high mortality rate. It is a disease that is extremely harmful to the human body. Therefore, we should check our bodies from time to time. The editor has specially sorted out the early symptoms of melanoma and prevention methods for everyone to learn!

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.

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. It is not advisable to stimulate moles with corrosive drugs or complete freezing. If the moles cannot be frozen off in one time and are repeatedly frozen several times, it is dangerous, because moles often become malignant due to traumatic stimulation. It is reported that some people have become malignant due to incomplete freezing. Malignant melanoma is related to external stimulation. If it is necessary for beauty, it is safer and more reliable to remove the mole at one time. Cryotherapy combined with excision should be completed in one time, and it is forbidden to remove in multiple times. The excised specimen should be sent for pathological examination.

3. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. On the surface, the disease is mainly caused by external factors, but external conditions such as friction, sunlight, and trauma (so they should be avoided as much as possible) must also work through the internal factors of "deficiency of the body". The causes of "deficiency of the body" include qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm and dampness obstruction, and internal heat and toxicity. From a clinical point of view, there are many manifestations of internal heat and toxicity. If further analyzed, abnormal qi, blood, phlegm and dampness are the order, and internal heat and toxicity are the result. Therefore, in treatment, we should first support the weak qi, or replenish qi and warm yang, or nourish blood and nourish yin, in order to change the imbalance of the body and mobilize the body's defense ability, and then according to the clinical symptoms, or promote qi and remove stagnation, or remove blood stasis and activate blood circulation, or eliminate phlegm and disperse knots, or eliminate toxins and eliminate tumors, in order to achieve the expected effect.
