What are the prevention methods for melanoma

The prevention of melanoma mainly involves avoiding sun exposure as much as possible. Using sunscreen 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. The following is a detailed introduction to the prevention methods of melanoma.

Prevention method for melanoma: For moles that occur in areas prone to friction, biopsy should be performed for pathological examination. For example, if a child has a large hairy mole 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 mole 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 mole 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.

The second method to prevent melanoma is to avoid using corrosive drugs or completely freezing moles. 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. It is forbidden to remove in multiple times. The excised specimen should be sent for pathological examination.

The above is an introduction to the prevention methods of melanoma. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
