Ms. Lin, 60 years old, has been paying attention to maintenance since she was young. Whenever there is a black spot on her face, she will go to the shop for maintenance. In the past year, she noticed a black spot on her face and wanted to use a laser to remove it. However, The black spots continued to grow back tenaciously, so I sought professional advice from a dermatologist, and after a detailed examination, I was diagnosed with skin cancer.

Shen Mengyun, a dermatologist at Wanfang Hospital, said that the skin is the largest organ of the human body. It has been exposed to sunlight continuously since childhood, and has suffered a lot of damage, and sometimes even cancer. The incidence of various skin cancers is related to the structure of the skin. The public is reminded not to ignore the lumps, abnormal protrusions and changes in melanin on the skin.
Skin Cancer Predilection Sites, Symptoms and Characteristics
Shen Mengjun pointed out that skin cancer can be divided into basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and other cancers of skin appendages:
Basal cell carcinoma: It is a common type of skin cancer that usually appears as black protrusions on the skin.
Squamous cell carcinoma: Symptoms are different from other skin cancers, and red patches are more common.
Melanoma: The most common sites of melanoma are the extremities, the soles of the feet are the most common, followed by the palms and under the nails. Therefore, it is important to observe abnormal melanin changes in the hands and feet at ordinary times, which is an important topic for early detection of cancer.
Shen Mengyun reminded that if the public meets 1 or 2 symptom characteristics, there is no need to panic too much. They can first take pictures and record observations to see if there are any of the following phenomena:
Asymmetry, irregular borders, messy colors, enlarged area (sudden growth), and inexplicable wounds.
Not cured for more than 2 weeks.
Congenital giant melanoma, but felt a hard lump.
Skin cancer “7 high-risk groups”
Shen Mengyun also pointed out that the “7 high-risk groups” that are prone to skin cancer and malignant melanoma are:
Worked in the sun when you were young, or liked to sunbathe and often got sunburned.
Patients with immunodeficiency, organ transplantation or long-term use of immunomodulators.
There are wounds on the body that will not heal for a long time. You need to be careful whether the wound is caused by skin cancer.
Long-term uptake of inorganic arsenic (groundwater in some areas contains high concentrations of arsenic).
There are many melanomas on my body (up to 50 to 100).
At birth, the baby has congenital melanoma, and a giant melanoma with an area larger than 20 cm.
There is a family history of malignant melanoma.
Shen Mengyun reminded that if the high-risk group has the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed evaluation or further skin biopsy. If you really suffer from skin cancer, as long as you receive appropriate treatment, most of them can be cured .
