It is very common, but recently many people are consulting how to deal with the enlarged mole. The expert's answer is that patients should be alert to the possibility that the enlarged mole may be cancerous, and it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment immediately. Therefore, this paper introduces the increase of moles, and I hope everyone will be vigilant about this. Experts from the Plastic Surgery Center of Beijing Armed Police General Hospital said that nevus, also known as melanocyte nevus, is a benign tumor that almost everyone has. As long as it doesn't affect the appearance, it rarely attracts people's attention. Although the malignant rate of nevus is not high (according to statistics, it is 1 person per 65438+ 10,000 people), melanoma produced by malignant nevus is a tumor with high malignancy, early metastasis and high risk. If not treated in time, patients will generally die within 1 ~ 2 years, and generally speaking, the occurrence of malignant nevus is a bad sign. What are the signals of malignant transformation of nevus? Experts from the Plastic Surgery Center of Beijing Armed Police General Hospital pointed out that after the age of 30, especially older people, we should pay attention to observation when the number of pigmented nevus is gradually increasing; If the boundary of the existing pigmented nevus becomes unclear, the edge becomes unsmooth, the color becomes uneven, or the body of the nevus becomes larger rapidly, we should pay attention to it. If moles occur in the palms, soles, toes, nails or genitals, waist circumference, armpits, groin, shoulders and other parts that are easily damaged by friction, it is necessary to be vigilant, strengthen observation and conduct regular self-examination. Once the nevus becomes larger, the color deepens or partially bulges, or there are ulceration, bleeding, satellite damage and lymph node enlargement around it, it indicates that the nevus has become malignant, and it should be surgically removed and sent for biopsy immediately. In addition, the blackening of nevus is not an absolute indication of malignant transformation, because all pigmented nevus can be blackened and enlarged during sexual maturity and pregnancy, and only when any nevus is darker or larger than others should it arouse suspicion. What should I do if the mole becomes bigger? Pigmented nevus generally does not need treatment, but attention should be paid to reducing the irritation of nevus, and only when it is suspected of malignant transformation should it be operated as soon as possible. At present, there are three commonly used surgical treatments: liquid nitrogen freezing, carbon dioxide laser and surgical resection. Surgical resection is good, and it can be completely removed at one time. Send pathological examination to clarify the nature and degree of the lesion as a reference for further treatment. After introducing the situation of getting bigger moles, everyone knows that getting bigger moles is a sign of getting worse moles, so if you have moles, you should always check yourself. What should I do if the mole gets bigger, or if there are any other unclear places, you can go to the website to consult an online doctor.
