recently
A mole on Mr. Fang's face in Nanjing
Suddenly enlarges and darkens
Go to the hospital for examination
He actually had cancer
This mole on Mr. Fang's face
Located on the edge of the right nose wing
It is convex and large in volume
Nothing has changed over many years
But recently
Mr. Fang noticed that the mole was growing
And the color is getting darker
So I went to the hospital for examination
Unexpectedly, I found a big problem!
Doctors found that the mole had a malignant tendency
He was advised to have surgery removed
After resection, the diagnosis was confirmed as basal cell carcinoma
Doctor introduction
Basal cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of skin cancer
It is more pronounced on the face
It is related to factors such as long-term solar exposure
The incidence is relatively higher in the elderly
Thankfully
Basal cell carcinoma is a low-grade malignancy
Distant metastases rarely occur
However, early diagnosis and early treatment are required
Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Dermatology, Nanjing Second Hospital
Yu Xiaoyun reminded
If the mole on the face changes suddenly
Be vigilant
"Once it is found that it has increased in the short term,
Or that the color is deepened, the surface is broken,
Or maybe there are some 'satellite lesions' around it,
It is a small rash similar to it that appears around it,
We recommend surgical removal as soon as possible. ”
furthermore
For the mole of the part that is easy to rub repeatedly
Pay more attention
For example, it grows on the soles of the feet, palms,
Moles on the waist and neck
If there is asymmetry, irregular edges,
Color changes, bulges, noticeable growth, etc
You should seek medical attention in time to rule out the possibility of malignancy
The doctor said
There are also many people for aesthetics
Choose to use a laser to remove the mole
This also requires caution
"We are advised for very small nevi junction nevi,
Very small flat ones can be dropped with laser points,
But the bigger ones,
We all recommend surgical resection,
For example, there are skin nevi,
Mole cells inside your dermis,
The laser is not clean,
Once the cut is not clean or the point is not clean,
The nevus cells remain, which can cause malignancy.
