Melanoma is clinically divided into three stages

Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, should be distinguished from similar diseases. This disease is mostly seen in adults over 30 years old. What are the clinical symptoms of melanoma ? Let's take a look together.

(1) The first symptom of melanoma is stage I: no regional lymph node metastasis

(2) Stage II: with regional lymph node metastasis

(3) Stage III: with distant metastasis.

In general, if pigmented skin lesions have the following changes, they often indicate the possibility of early melanoma:

(1) Color variegation is a sign of malignant lesions. Freckles and superficial spreading types often have red, white or blue mixed with brown or black, with blue being the worst.

(2) The edges are often jagged and serrated, which is caused by the spread of the tumor or spontaneous degeneration.

(3) The surface is not smooth, but often rough with scaly scaling, sometimes with bleeding and exudation, and may be higher than the skin surface.

(4) The skin around the lesion may become edematous or lose its original skin luster or turn white or gray.

(5) Abnormal sensation such as local itching, burning pain or tenderness, which are also symptoms of melanoma.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of melanoma. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Melanoma should be discovered early and treated reasonably. If you have any questions, you can consult our experts online.
