What are the early symptoms of melanoma

summary

A few years ago, I found that there was a black fine line on the nail, and it didn't grow up or change, so I didn't treat it very much. But some years ago, I found that the fine line widened, so I went to the hospital to have an examination. As a result, I learned that I had melanoma. Today, let me talk about the early symptoms of melanoma.

What are the early symptoms of melanoma

First, melanoma mainly occurs in palms, soles of feet and subungual. During the radiation growth period, the lesions are brown, brown or black, not higher than the skin. If irregular brown or brown stripes can be seen under the nail, extending from the nail bed to the proximal end, the radiation growth period lasts for about one year. If it is not treated in time, it will enter the vertical growth period. The lesions show nodular uplift, and the lymph node metastasis rate will also increase Other diagnoses include basal cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis and dysplastic nevus.

Second: Color: most malignant melanoma have brown, black, red, white or blue mixed uneven. Margin: it is often jagged, which is caused by tumor spreading or spontaneous degeneration. Surface: not smooth. Often rough and accompanied by scaly or flaky desquamation. Sometimes there is exudation or bleeding, the lesion can be higher than the skin. The skin around the lesion may appear edema or lose its original skin luster or turn white or gray.

Third: the main symptoms are rapidly growing melanoma nodules. At the beginning, it can be seen that melanosis occurs in normal skin, or the pigmentation of nevus increases and the black deepens, and then the lesion damage expands continuously, the hardness increases, accompanied by itching and pain. Some lesions of melanoma are protuberant, plaque and nodular, some are mushroom or cauliflower. When it grows into subcutaneous tissue, it is subcutaneous nodule or mass type, and when it spreads around, it appears stellate black spot or small nodule.
