If you have symptoms such as bleeding, go to the hospital.
The story of a woman who was diagnosed with skin cancer for a black spot on her buttocks has been revealed.
According to the British media DailyMedi on the 2nd (local time), Ilia Smith (42), who lives in Dallas, Texas, found out that the dark spots on her skin, which she had not taken seriously for a long time, were melanoma, a type of skin cancer. He scratched the itchy spot that had appeared 10 years ago, noticed that it was bleeding, and went to the hospital.
After undergoing a biopsy at the doctor’s recommendation, he was diagnosed with melanoma, which is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Melanoma is a black or dark brown malignant tumor. It occurs easily in the skin and mucous membranes, metastasizes quickly, and has a low survival rate. In fact, there are regarding 90,000 melanoma patients in the United States, but regarding 8,000 die each year.
Fortunately, his cancer cells did not spread, so he underwent surgery to remove cancerous tissue from a 3 cm size and 1.5 inch depth. He is said to have undergone plastic surgery to remove scars even following surgery. But even following that, he said, he always cautions once morest strong sunlight. When doing outdoor activities such as running, use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) and protect your eyes and skin with sunglasses and outerwear.
Excessive exposure of the skin to UV rays damages the DNA of melanocytes and causes cancer cells. It also leads to changes in melasma and pigmentation as well as cancer cells. Melanocytes are pigment cells in the basal layer of the skin surface. When the skin is stimulated by UV rays, melanocytes produce melanin pigment that protects the skin.
Moles that cause skin cancer may enlarge or bleed. If a mole on the body is larger than 6 mm or enlarges, or if it shows characteristics such as irregular edges or asymmetry, it is good to visit a hospital.
“I enjoyed resting in the sun and supplementing with vitamin D, but now I have to be careful,” he said, noting the dangers of moles on the skin. .
