Everyone has more or less moles on them, and most of the time we don't pay much attention to these moles, after all, they are not painful or itchy. Unless it grows large to the face, no one can think of paying attention to it.
But here we must remind you: if you find that you have the following moles on your body, you must not be careless, maybe this implies that there is a problem with the liver!
01
After the appearance of such a mole,
He was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer!
Last year, a young man in Guangxi was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.
When the doctor examined him, he found that he had obvious telangiectasia on his chest, similar to a spider-shaped red mole.
For this mole, the young man actually found it a long time ago, but it has not attracted enough attention. The results of the examination came out, and the doctor was very sad: this spider mole had to be checked quickly, and many people who came to check at this time had already entered the cirrhosis stage.
02
What is a spider mole? How to distinguish?
Clinically, spider anvils are not uncommon. When the concentration of estrogen in the blood rises, the arterial capillaries dilate and we see a spider-like mole through the naked eye.
Listening to the name, we also know that the biggest feature of this mole is that it looks very similar to a spider, with a red dot in the middle and many thin legs around it. This kind of mole center will have a slight bulge, or even feel no bulge at all, when you press the center with your finger, the entire vascular mole will disappear, and the finger will return to its original state after moving away.

Who is most likely to have spider moles?
When to get attention?
Because the metabolic inactivation of estrogen is carried out in the liver, and some pregnant women and developing women, the estrogen in the body has far exceeded the liver's inactivation ability, then spider nevi will appear. This is a spider mole caused by physiological reasons, which generally does not require special treatment and will subside at the end of pregnancy or development.
But if spider angiomas appear after these conditions are ruled out, it is important to pay attention to them, as this may suggest other more serious diseases, the most common of which are hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Because after the liver is damaged, the metabolic capacity will be greatly reduced, the ability to inactivate estrogen will decrease, and spider moles will appear.
The distribution of spider angiomas is generally related to the walking of the superior vena cava, so it mainly appears in the face and neck, hands, anterior chest and the upper back of the back. Of course, there are also a very small number of spider moles that may appear in areas such as the lips and ears.
Therefore, those who have problems with their own liver, if there are more spider moles in the skin, or the original spider mole suddenly increases, we must pay attention to it, and it is best to go to the hospital to check liver function or do a liver B ultrasound.
In addition to liver problems, spider annular nevi can be a sign of lupus erythematosus, Raynaud's disease, rheumatism, and pigmented dry skin. However, these diseases usually have their own other typical symptoms, in any case, excluding spider angiomas that appear after pregnancy and development, be sure to seek medical attention in time!
Here is also a reminder that in addition to spider moles, some moles may also hide huge health risks!

Less than 60 days from discovery to death!
Earlier, colleagues received a male patient with malignant melanoma bone metastases. Although the diagnosis has been confirmed, the doctors in the entire department cannot determine exactly which part of the patient's body has a malignant mole.
After a long period of consultation and examination, the culprit was finally found under the patient's feet: a mole that was not dark in color and did not have any raised moles.
It turned out that this mole had been under the patient's feet since childhood, because it was not painful, itchy and did not have any uncomfortable symptoms, so the patient did not pay much attention to it over the years.
But now, no one can imagine an inconspicuous mole, which brings patients bone metastasis throughout the body, accompanied by moderate and severe pain... Even though some of the pain was relieved by medication, the patient eventually died because there was no immunotherapy at the time.

Black moles appear these 5 changes,
Beware of becoming a "life-threatening mole"!
In the case like above, in the early stages, if the patient can pay attention to and standardize treatment, the chance of metastasis can be greatly reduced. But the reality is that many people usually do not pay attention to the moles on their bodies, coupled with the strong occlusion of melanoma, there are basically no obvious symptoms.
This leads to many people in the discovery, often already in the late stage. Therefore, if the small black mole on the body has the following changes, we must be vigilant against the possibility of vicious changes.
The edges change
Normal nevi margins tend to be smooth and have relatively clear borders with the skin. If a mole becomes untidy on the edges in a short period of time, be wary.
The color changes
Normal moles are usually black, brownish yellow, or brown in color. If a malignant change occurs, the color of the mole may suddenly become darker, lighter, or even change to a different color. Blue nevi, in particular, is most likely cancerous.
The diameter is too large
The diameter of a normal mole is generally not too large, and if the diameter of the mole on the body reaches or even exceeds 6mm, it should be paid special attention to.
Suddenly becomes asymmetrical
If a mole that was originally symmetrical suddenly becomes no longer symmetrical, be alert to the possibility of malignant melanoma.
Suddenly there is a bulge
If a mole changes malignantly, the position of the mole may rise and the surface will become uneven.
