Melanoma



The risk of developing melanoma - skin cancer, is affected, above all, by people with a lot of moles, freckles and pigment spots on the body. Especially it is necessary to pay attention to birthmarks larger than 0.5 cm. The push to develop this formidable disease is mainly excessive exposure to the sun. Ultraviolet rays in large quantities provoke irreversible changes in the skin cells and many times increase the risk of their malignant degeneration.

Symptoms of melanoma

1. Rebirth of moles (nevi): discoloration, uneven coloring, peeling and the appearance of inflammation around the mole, an increase in size and compaction, itching and tension in the mole.

2. The degeneration of pigmented spots: a discoloration, a change in the surface and pattern of the skin around the spot, a change in the spot size.

Prevention of melanoma

1. Try not to sunbathe in the period from 11 to 16 hours, when the sun's rays have the strongest effect on the skin. It should be remembered that sunscreens and lotions protect the skin from sunburn, but do not guarantee protection from melanoma.

2. After bathing in the sea or a pond, take a shower and dry your body with a towel, as the water drops reflect the sun's rays and many times increase their harmful effects on the skin.

3. People from the risk group (with a lot of moles on the body) limit the visit to the solarium.

4. Avoid injury to the moles, and in case of damage, contact the oncodermatologist immediately.

5. Oncologist consultations to identify the risk of the disease at an early stage and the appointment of preventive measures (it is desirable to get rid of the most dangerous moles in specialized medical centers).

Observance of these rules will help you to maintain your health and life.
