Is skin cancer in the elderly contagious?

When talking about diseases, we cannot fail to mention cancer, because cancer is the most vicious disease. It can take away our precious lives. So let's talk about a disease that the elderly will get, "skin cancer", also known as skin malignant tumors. Tumors are generally divided into two types, one is benign and the other is malignant benign tumors, and the tumor will grow over time. After growing to a certain range, it will stop growing and generally will not be life-threatening. The cause of the serious illness is the symptoms of cancer caused by epidermal cell lesions; the symptoms of cancer caused by pigment cell lesions; cancer caused by skin appendage lesions, which are generally not contagious. So please don't worry, and don't stay away from your sick relatives for fear of being infected.

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, many infectious diseases have been well treated and the probability of transmission has been reduced. However, even so, infectious diseases are still very scary in the hearts of humans, because infectious diseases can lead to death, so we must be well prepared for prevention, so that we can stay away from cancer. Therefore, we must take early prevention, correct judgment, and early treatment. These three steps are very important.

The incidence of skin cancer was very low in the past, but has increased in recent years. The incidence of clinical skin cancer has been gradually increasing in recent years. The causes are:

1. The elderly are generally in their 50s or 60s;

2. Long-term exposure to wind and sun, strong exposure to ultraviolet rays;

3. As we age, our skin's immunity naturally declines, and some cells age and die, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, which in turn causes skin malignancies;

4. When traveling in summer, people wear less and the ultraviolet rays are too strong, causing sunburn;

5. Serious environmental pollution, increased contact with nature, etc.

This should attract the attention of the elderly.

The most common manifestations are: some of them start with soybean-sized bumps on the face, which are hard to the touch, bulging around and slightly downward in the middle. This is also very serious, because frequent touching of the affected area will easily cause ulceration and bleeding. But even so, the elderly do not pay attention to it. This type of skin cancer is malignant, but it is not contagious. If it is confirmed that you have skin cancer, you should go to the hospital for timely treatment and removal.

General ways to prevent skin cancer include:

1. Strengthen your awareness of skin protection and pay attention to your skin frequently;

2. Pay attention to skin hygiene;

3. Practice proper skin care.

Note: When encountering this disease, we must improve the patient's eating habits when treating the patient. First of all, we must let the patient eat more nutritious, high-vitamin, non-irritating and light food. Such food is beneficial to the patient's recovery.
