Cancer viruses are most likely to show their true colors here

We often see black spots of different sizes and even unevenness on various parts of the body. We call these black spots "moles". These moles are more common on the toes. So what is the connection between moles and cancer? Moles themselves are naturally harmless, but once moles worsen and develop into skin cancer, they will endanger our lives, which is what we often call cancer. Due to its special location, moles on toes are likely to develop into melanoma.

Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer. Although it is not very common in China, it is one of the common malignant tumors in Europe and the United States. The fact that moles are uncommon in our country does not mean that they are harmless to the human body. In recent years, the incidence of skin cancer in our country has gradually increased, so we still need to understand the causes of its occurrence and take protective measures in advance to prevent it from happening.

Why are black moles on toes more likely to develop into cancer factors? Because under normal circumstances, the chance of black moles becoming cancerous is relatively small, but if they are often rubbed and squeezed, the possibility of cancer will increase. Our toes are under constant friction and compression, making them more susceptible to cancer.

Many people believe that the chance of a mole turning into a tumor is very small, and even think that such a bad thing will not happen to them. This understanding is actually wrong.

Moles themselves are benign tumors that are born in our bodies. Due to the influence of living environment and lesions in various organs of the body, it further deteriorates into melanoma.

Some people also believe that moles will only develop into melanoma when exposed to the sun, but under normal circumstances, we do not expose our toes to the sun. So it is easy for us to ignore the "cancer virus" on our toes. However, melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, is very likely to develop in areas that are not regularly exposed to the sun. Melanoma can even appear under the toenail and look like a plain black spot.

Therefore, if a black mole appears on the toes, please take protective measures and observe the mole regularly to see if there are any abnormal changes. If any abnormalities occur, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. Deformed toenails

Toenail deformity is a sign of iron deficiency in the body. The most important clinical manifestation of iron deficiency is anemia, which can cause general weakness, pale complexion, hair loss, etc. These are the most common manifestations, but if men or postmenopausal women experience iron deficiency anemia, it can be a sign of colorectal cancer.

Iron is an important component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. If iron is deficient for a long time, it will lead to "iron deficiency anemia", which is common in women who lose blood during menstrual cycle. However, relevant experts remind everyone that if iron deficiency anemia occurs in men or postmenopausal women, be careful as it may be a warning sign of colorectal cancer.

Therefore, if your toenails appear to have any abnormal shape, you must be vigilant. It may be that your body is "warning" you, and it is important to replenish iron in time. There are many foods that contain iron in our daily diet, and you can choose the ones that suit your taste. It is suggested that you do not have to wait until the body sends out an "alarm" before taking countermeasures. You can pay attention to the intake of iron in a normal diet. It is always better to take precautions before they happen.

3. Unexplained bending of toes

Our normal toes are flat and spread out with a slight curvature. If your toes are curled like a "claw", This condition is usually due to changes caused by neurological diseases. The harm caused by neurological diseases is no less than that of cancer.

There are many causes of neurological diseases, and if they are not treated in time, they will cause irreversible consequences. Therefore, although toes are small, they are also a great "tool" for us to observe our physical health.

4. Abnormal nail color

Changes in nail color can also be a sign of disease. There are two main types of nail color changes caused by general diseases: one is whitening of the nails, and the other is yellowing of the nails.

If the toenail itself is intact and has not been hit or damaged by external force, but the color of the toenail has turned white, it is very likely to be a precursor to a serious illness, such as liver lesions, congestive heart failure, or severe diabetes.

If the toenails turn yellow and are accompanied by thickening, this indicates that there is too much fungus on the toes. Fungal infections often cause toenails to turn yellow and thicken. Additionally, yellow and thickened toenails may also be a symptom of underlying conditions, including lymphoma, lung cancer, and bone cancer.

Therefore, changes in the color of toenails should never be ignored. Although toenails are small and do not have much impact on daily life, they are often an important part of the body that sends out "cancer" warnings for major diseases.

Conclusion: In the above article, the editor introduced 4 types of abnormal toenails. These conditions may be precursors to cancer. Do you understand them all? Black moles on the toes may be melanoma; changes in toenails color may be liver cancer and lung cancer; abnormal toe shape may be a neurological disease, etc. These small changes in the toes may be signs of major illness, so we must always observe these small parts of the body.
