summary

I remember the teacher told us in biology class in middle school that human skin is the biggest organ. Skin cancer, as the name suggests, is a cancer of the skin. It is rare in China. Generally, white people are more prone to skin cancer than people in other colors, but this does not mean that yellow people will not have skin cancer. Because the earlier skin cancer is found, the easier it is to cure. If it is not found early, it will be fatal. Therefore, it is necessary to detect skin cancer early and recognize the early symptoms of skin cancer.

Three typical symptoms of early skin cancer

1. Squamous cell carcinoma is often transformed from keratosis, leukoplakia and other precancerous diseases. It grows fast and ulcers are formed in the early stage. Some are nodular or cauliflower like, with less invasion to the deep and movable basement; some are butterfly like, with obvious infiltration to the deep and destructive, often involving bones. Squamous cell carcinoma is often accompanied by suppurative infection, odor and pain.   

2. Basal cell carcinoma is often asymptomatic. At the initial stage, it is usually a plaque like papule with a hard base, some of which are verrucous, and then ulcerated. The lesion is irregular, the edge is uplifted, like a crater, the bottom is uneven, and the growth is slow. Metastasis is rare, first occurs edge translucent nodule uplift shallow ulcer, then gradually expand, can erode surrounding tissues and organs, become erosive ulcer.   

3. Malignant melanoma: This is a kind of skin cancer with high malignancy and rapid metastasis. In western countries, the prevalence rate is very high, and the mortality rate is also very high. There are many pigments in Chinese skin, which have a good protective effect on ultraviolet rays. At the same time, we also pay more attention to sunscreen in our daily life, so malignant melanoma is relatively rare in China. Because melanoma is black, it is easy to find, so if you find black spots on nails, nail beds, soles of feet, palms of hands or other parts of the body, and they are obviously enlarged in the near future, and easy to burst, or half of the nails are black, you should be alert and check in the hospital in time.

matters needing attention

Skin cancer seriously endangers the health of patients, we must pay attention to prevention in life. Skin cancer patients must be actively treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will have a great impact on health. At the same time, I wish the majority of skin cancer patients get rid of the trouble of skin cancer as soon as possible!
