What are the early symptoms of scalp tumors

Tumors are already a relatively common disease in our daily life, but people are relatively unfamiliar with scalp tumors because there are relatively few patients suffering from scalp tumors. However, they can also have a lot of impacts on the patient's health. When you suffer from a scalp tumor, some symptoms will appear. Paying attention to these symptoms in time and receiving treatment early will be of great help to your physical recovery.

1. Space-occupying symptoms of scalp tumors

The main symptoms of the disease are increased intracranial pressure, headache, vomiting, and optic nerve weakening. Headache is the main symptom of brain disease. The pain is more obvious in the morning or at night, and is mainly characterized by intermittent headache. As the symptoms gradually worsen, they will obviously turn into persistent headache symptoms. When a patient vomits, the gastric contents are vomited out quickly and forcefully, which is the most obvious feature of increased intracranial pressure in patients.

Patients with scalp tumors may experience physiological magnification or blurred vision during fundus examinations. Over time, they may experience a significant decrease in vision and a narrowing of the visual field. Increased intracranial pressure can also cause double vision, vertigo, and seizures. Acute intracranial hypertension can cause increased blood pressure, bradycardia, and slow breathing. Severe intracranial hypertension can lead to brain herniation and endanger the patient's life.

2. Short-term manifestations of scalp tumors

Scalp tumors grow very quickly in a short period of time and are likely to appear on the lips, tongue, nose and at the junction of the skin and mucous membranes. Skin cancer is also common on the scalp. Friends, please do not ignore the symptoms of this disease, because the symptoms of scalp tumors are relatively obvious. In the early stages of cancer, a red circle cauliflower shape will appear, and many patients have swollen lymph nodes. The edges of ulcers in patients with scalp cancer are relatively soft, and the nodular lesions of some patients will show a layer of black pathological reaction.

Scalp tumors can have a great impact on the patient's physical and mental health. Everyone should know that this disease cannot be ignored. Surgery and laser treatment are needed after the early symptoms of scalp tumors are discovered to prevent further development of the disease. Secondly, this disease will recur, so postoperative care is also very important. Secondly, after the onset of the disease, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment to avoid secondary injury.
