How to effectively prevent melanoma

Do you know much about melanoma? Skin experts say: Although melanoma is not a serious disease, its occurrence is very annoying. Due to the long course of melanoma, it has a great impact on the lives of melanoma patients. So how can melanoma be effectively prevented? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Melanoma is common in people aged 30-60. Younger people are generally less malignant and have a better prognosis after surgical resection. There is almost no difference in the incidence of the disease between the sexes, but the location of the lesion is related to gender. Those that occur on the trunk are more common in men, and those that occur on the limbs are more common in women than men. Freckle melanoma on the face is especially common in elderly women.

Melanoma Prevention:

1. In daily life, we should try to avoid sun exposure. Using sunshades is an important and most effective primary prevention measure, especially for high-risk groups.

2. Focus on educating the general public and professionals to improve the implementation rate of the "three early" measures, namely early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of diseases.

3. Removing moles does not prevent cancer: Pigmented moles on the human body can be treated with laser or cryotherapy. Such treatments meet people's cosmetic needs but have no direct effect on the treatment of malignant melanoma. On the contrary, we should pay attention to using less physical or chemical stimulants to stimulate moles, and we should not "abuse" them with local stimulation such as cutting, salting, laser and freezing, because long-term and repeated adverse stimulation is one of the important factors for normal pigmented moles to become malignant.

Through the above introduction to melanoma, everyone has a deeper understanding of melanoma. If you find symptoms of melanoma, you must go to a skin hospital as soon as possible to receive regular treatment.
