Daily preventive measures against malignant melanoma

Among the types of melanoma, the most serious one is malignant melanoma when it develops to the later stage. Most people don’t know how to take preventive measures against malignant melanoma . Let’s learn about it from the following article.

1. For pigmented nevi that are easily rubbed, biopsies should be taken for pathological examination. All of them should be removed as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of malignant melanoma. For example, if a child has a large hairy nevus on the waist, the main part of the 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 of the melanoma patient is loosened, the remaining part can be removed until all the nevi are 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. This is what needs to be paid attention to in the prevention of malignant melanoma.

2. To prevent malignant melanoma, it is not advisable to stimulate moles with corrosive drugs or complete freezing, because moles of melanoma patients can often become malignant due to traumatic stimulation.

3. To prevent malignant melanoma, you need to pay attention to information about the malignant transformation of moles. Melanoma patients 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 a faint blue-black color can be seen. This is also a preventive measure for malignant melanoma.
