Don’t let a mole be too small

  I invited a friend to dinner, the friend brought his girlfriend over, and talked about the problem of the mole in the corner of his girlfriend’s left eye during the meeting. Oh, a brief excerpt is as follows for your reference.  Q: Is it necessary to remove it?  A: Moles are formed by melanocytes located at the junction of the epidermis and dermis of the skin. Depending on the number of moles, they can be higher than the skin surface or flatter than the skin, with different sizes and locations. The reason why moles are removed is partly because of preventive excision to prevent malignant change of moles, and partly to remove some pigmented moles that are detrimental to the appearance. Your GF belongs to the latter and can be removed.  Q: And what kind of way to remove it?  A: The choice of treatment method for moles is mainly based on the color, size, location and nature of the mole. It requires a professional cosmetic surgeon to make a judgment based on his or her knowledge to know. Like this mole at the corner of your GF’s eye, you need to design a special incision, cut it off completely and then close it carefully with 7-0 silk suture.  As it is difficult to judge the depth of the mole from the appearance, you have to be careful to remove it. Some so-called disposable potion mole removal methods are risky. Although a very shallow mole can be removed, the epidermis is very thin and a little carelessness can easily remove the whole epidermis layer and leave scars, which are permanent and not like the advertised scar spirit that can be removed as soon as it is removed. However, if the mole is deeper, it is not easy to be removed by the above method, and it will grow back after it is done, or even bigger, resulting in both a scar and a lingering mole, which is even more ugly.  Q: What about this mole near my temple?  A: (I looked carefully, there is a soy-sized rash in the right temple area, which we call the right temporal area, the color is like ink, and it occasionally itches when I ask him about it, but there is no gradual increase in area or breakage and bleeding.) This is still cut off, a little dangerous, huh?  In order not to cause panic to friends, I did not explain carefully. The first thing I did was to ask him about the root of the problem.  The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular items. Why do you say so?  A: The danger I am talking about is that this mole can easily become malignant, which should be understood. Generally speaking, the chance of a mole becoming malignant is still very small, but if the skin is white and often exposed to the sun, the chance of a mole becoming malignant is increased. There are also some signs of mole malignancy: if a mole suddenly becomes bigger, its color deepens, itchy or painful, or local ulcers occur, or some small moles grow around the mole, these are undesirable phenomena and should be checked out in a hospital as early as possible, like the moles on the palms of hands and soles of feet which often rub together and increase the chance of malignancy, they should also be removed as early as possible. And this one is at the edge of the temporal hairline, and it is often easy to stimulate it when combing the hair, so it is dangerous and better to cut it off.  Malignant melanoma is the most “malignant” type, and most of them are caused by congenital and acquired pigmented nevi (also known as nevi). Doctors especially remind that the following nevi should be highly alert and go to the hospital for examination and disposal in time: firstly, nevi that grow in friction areas, such as waist, jaw, beard area, soles of feet, palms of hands, glans penis and female vulva; secondly, nevi that are often itchy, have redness, swelling or even crust, pus, water, especially bleeding water; thirdly, nevi that suddenly increase in size and change color significantly, such as pigmented nevi If the diameter of the nevus exceeds 15 mm, it indicates the possibility of malignant transformation; fourth, new small black spots, also called “satellite foci”, appear within two centimeters around the nevus.  In addition, when the fingers and toes are traumatized, it is important to beware of the occurrence of malignant melanoma. Some people often have their finger (toe) nails smashed, stabbed or injured by extrusion during production and life. Once the finger (toe) nail becomes black, cracked and broken, it indicates the possibility of cancer. Overseas statistics on a large sample of malignant melanoma cases, 46.3%-49% occurred in the limb, 16% occurred under the finger (toe) nail, the majority of the latter has a history of trauma.
