What Are The Moles in Our Body Telling Us?
Just as we do a breast palpation, we should also do a mole palpation. Because those tiny moles we’re not even aware of can actually be the heralds of skin cancer. Here is information about early diagnosis of moles without cancer…
Moles, nevus with the name of medicine, has been a symbol of beauty among women for centuries. But this situation seems to have been reversed since it is understood that especially today’s moles may be a hidden danger.
May be Skin Cancer Type
Moles can be brown, pink, red, blue, black, skin color, and its shape can be seen as round, flat and slightly raised. Although most of them are harmless, they may turn to the type of skin cancer called melanoma. The nevi should be observed carefully and any color, shape or size difference should be consulted to a specialist doctor before it is too late. This examination examines the image of the moles by a method called dermatoscopy and biopsy can be taken if necessary. In this way, skin cancer called melanoma can be treated in the early stage. When such a threat is detected, the intervention method is determined according to the type and location of the nevus.
Watch the Fingers!
These moles can be removed with Radiocouter, Plexr laser, cryotherapy or surgery. Each of these can be performed with simple and regional anesthesia. In the area where radiocoker or Plexr laser is applied, initially crusting occurs. Then this shell falls spontaneously, creating a pink scar there. This pink field returns to skin color in time. The healing of the scar is changed according to the depth and size of the nevus removed. Usually these treatments are completed in one session. The removed nevus is sent to pathological examination according to the situation.
Moles must be followed at intervals of 6-12 months. Especially in the hand, finger tips, moles on the soles of the feet may be malignant because of traumas, should be followed more carefully. If necessary, should be removed by surgical procedure in the early stage.
They Can Proliferate by the Influence of The Sun
Moles (nevi) proliferate over the years with the effect of sunlight. The use of sun cream is necessary to prevent both the growth of moles and skin aging. You should also wear hats, sunglasses and protect the skin from direct sunlight as much as possible to protect it from the sun’s harmful rays.
