Are wounds on your body a sign of skin cancer? A dermatologist shared a case that a friend who was also a doctor found that his heel (heel) was injured and treated it on his own. Later, he went to the hospital for an examination and found that it was “melanoma skin cancer”, which recurred half a year after it was removed. Doctors pointed out that when melanoma is discovered in many cases, it is often already at an advanced stage. If there are 5 kinds of moles on the body, the risk of skin cancer is higher.
Melanoma｜Doctor also suffers from cancer, heel wound turns into skin cancer six months later
Dermatologist Zhao Zhaoming pointed out in “Health 2.0”, although many people have heard that when black abnormalities appear on the skin, it may be a symptom of melanoma. However, it turns out that ulcer symptoms may also be a sign of cancer.
The cause of melanoma is that moles on the body are often exposed to high risk:
Dr. Zhao pointed out that his doctor friend is also an expert in skin-related pathology, but when he found the heel ulcer, he had no symptoms of melanoma, so he took medicine for treatment by himself. However, the wound hadn’t healed for a long time. After a biopsy, it was found to be melanoma, which was removed immediately, but it recurred half a year later.
Melanoma spreads | Melanoma metastasizes rapidly and most of the diagnoses are late
Dr. Zhao explained that melanoma can metastasize from lymph nodes, so its metastasis speed is very fast. If melanoma is found, the chance of it being early stage is relatively small, and most cases are found to be late stage.
How do moles turn into skin cancer? Be careful of the 7 major signs of cancer:
Dr. Zhao pointed out that the severity of melanoma is related to the stage and depth, because melanin is easy to transfer to the lymphatic blood after the basal layer of the epidermis is damaged, and then develops to the dermis and muscle layer after canceration, resulting in very fast metastasis . The survival rate for stage 1 melanoma is 70%, but it drops to 10% for stage 4.
