How to tell the difference between a mole and melanoma, and how to tell the difference between a mel

1. Distinguish from the appearance.

Moles and melanoma can be distinguished by appearance, the two halves of the mole are generally symmetrical, and the edges are relatively smooth, and the boundary between the mole and the normal ** is very clear. There is no clear standard for the shape of melanoma, it may be asymmetrical on both sides, the border is very uneven, generally jagged, and sometimes there will be scaling or bleeding problems.

2. Distinguish by color.

Moles and melanoma can also be distinguished from the color, there is a certain difference between the two colors, the color of the mole is generally brown or black, although melanoma may also be brownish-yellow or black, but it will be mixed with some other colors, such as pink, white, blue-black. If you find that the color of melanoma is mixed with blue-black, you should pay attention to it at this time, because this color often indicates a high degree of malignancy.

3. Distinguish from size.

In terms of size, moles and melanoma can also be distinguished, and the diameter of moles is generally relatively small, and the area of ** is not large. However, melanoma is much larger than a mole, and melanoma is generally larger than 5 mm in diameter, and due to its large size, it is easy to detect after it appears.

If you find a case of suspected melanoma, be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is found to be melanoma, you must actively cooperate with the doctor**, when the melanoma is in the early stage, you can choose surgery or laser method**, the effect is still relatively good, not easy**. If the melanoma is advanced, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used**, but it is relatively easy**.

Brown patches and moles on the site are usually harmless. However, for some atypical or dysplastic nevi, be wary of melanoma. Asymmetry.

If the sides of a mole are asymmetrical, it may be an early sign of melanoma. Harmless moles have even, smooth edges, while those with uneven edges, such as fan-shaped or notched, can be an early sign of melanoma. Common moles are more monochromatic in color and are usually brown.

Melanoma, on the other hand, can lead to shadow differentiation, and the color of the mole can range from tan and brown to red, black, and even blue and white. Ordinary moles tend to be smaller, while melanoma moles are usually larger (about 6 mm) than the eraser on the pencil tip. If a mole starts to change or grow, be vigilant.

Changes may include: changes in shape, color, or height, or bleeding, itching, or crusting.

If it often gets bigger or smaller, and there will be some pain in the process, then it is likely to be some tumors at this time, and you should go to the hospital for removal in time.

This is mainly determined by the examination of the hospital. Generally normal. As long as it doesn't show a particularly pronounced growth trend.

Melanoma can transform from a mole because melanoma is a malignant lesion, a mole is black oval in appearance, melanoma is a blue-black irregular shape, and there is frequent bleeding and ulceration around the melanoma.

Third, how to distinguish a black mole wants to transform into melanoma, it takes a long process, first of all, we can look at the contrast of the mole, normal moles are generally completely symmetrical, but if it is melanoma, then there will be asymmetry in the mole, you can also judge by looking at the edge of the mole, usually the mole is smooth and clear, if the edge is uneven and blurred, then it may be melanoma.

If it is a mole, it will be symmetrical, while melanoma, it will show irregular development, and it is generally more round and clear, while the edge of melanoma will be blurred, even tooth-like, and it is generally black, while melanoma is lighter in color.

Moles have a certain symmetry, in general, they will be very regular, and can also be judged by looking at the edge of the mole, usually the mole is very smooth and clear, the edge is uneven, then it is a tumor, you can judge from the color, the color of the normal mole is black, you can also judge by the diameter, the diameter of the mole is generally 6 mm.

The color of the mole is relatively simple, and the growth rate is relatively slow, the growth will stop when it reaches a certain time, and the texture is relatively soft, melanoma is generally a higher tumor, and the growth rate is also very fast.

Melanoma is mainly found in **, but can also be seen in mucous membranes and internal organs, accounting for about 3% of all tumors. Moles are formed by an increase in melanocytes or melanocytes secreted by melanocytes.

Difference Between Melanoma and MoleMelanoma and moles are both large tumors of melanocytes. Melanoma is a malignant tumor, and moles are benign tumors. Many people don't know the difference between melanoma and moles, and the difference between melanoma and moles?

Let's take a look.

The symptoms of black moles generally exist for a long time, the surface looks light brown, as well as brown, brown, black color, black moles grow slowly, and the area looks relatively small, **The surface of the black mole looks smooth, and the boundary with the normal ** is clear, melanoma grows faster than the black mole, and the boundary is not clear, the surface of the affected area is black, melanoma is more common in the soles of the feet, if melanoma appears on the soles of the feet after the age of 30, it is necessary to check in time. Melanoma looks asymmetrical, and the edges don't look very regular, the surface looks jagged, some are burr-like, and can extend to distant parts, the difference between melanoma and mole is scattered, in addition, melanoma is more common to show signs of swollen lymph nodes in the combined area, such as groin, fossa. Swollen lymph nodes, etc.

Whether it is melanoma or a mole, as long as there is a mole-like phenomenon on the body, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination in time, and the symptoms will be corrected after diagnosis**. It is recommended not to pick the affected area and keep the surface clean and hygienic.
