Melanoma Malignant



What is melanoma? Melanoma is a type of cancer of the skin, which is very dangerous. These diseases strike women vulnerable with age under 30 years of age, whereas in men by age 50 or over.

The Cause Of Melanoma
Many risk factors for melanoma has been found, but it is not always clear how melanoma can cause cancer. For example, most moles never turn into cancer melanoma Mole, but also who can do it.

The researchers have found some changes in genes in the cells of a Mole can cause them to become melanoma cells. But it is still not known for sure why some become cancerous moles while most do not.

Melanoma cancer can be caused by DNA changes that turn on or turn off a gene suppressor oncogenes tumors. Changes in several different genes usually needed for the cell to become a cancer cell.

Please note, cancer melanoma may not necessarily be attacking someone for granted. This is because there are some people who are more risky traits affected by this disease. What are the symptoms of melanoma? These include:

1. Have a History of Skin Cancer
As with other types of cancer that could be attacked based on heredity, skin cancer melanoma also can strike someone who have a history of skin cancer in the family.

If you have a family that never suffered the kind of disease, may we suggest you get yourself checked as early as possible so that you can avoid disease melanoma.

2. Have a Bright Skin and Hair
Don't worry if you have Tan skin color is ripe or not. This is because the risk of developing the disease melanoma is much smaller. The disease is most likely of attacking someone who has skin and hair color, for example just like those of Europe, America, and Australia.



This is because someone who has skin tone brighter and has spots on the skin has melanin pigment which turns out to be less than those who are dark-skinned. The pigment serves to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays.

3. The Mole
Most people have moles and maybe it's reasonable if the shape is unusual. However, the mole could also serve as a sign that an individual may be exposed to disease melanoma.

If you have a Mole with the color that fairly weird, itching, bleeding, scaly, and large-sized, you should immediately check with your doctor because it can be a sign of cancer melanoma.

4. Have a Habit of Sunbathing
Sunlight is indeed healthy, then it is no wonder many people who love the Sun to get a darker skin color. But if the skin is constantly exposed to sunlight directly, it can be very dangerous.

This is because exposure to sunlight can directly trigger the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, stop the habit of basking too long so that you are free from the risk of melanoma cancer.

Ultraviolet light (UV) is the main cause of melanoma. UV rays can damage DNA in the skin cells. Sometimes this damage affecting a particular gene that controls how the skin cells grow and divide. If these genes do not function properly again, the affected cells may become cancer cells.

The characteristics of other melanoma cancer is:
  • A sore that does not heal.
  • Spread of pigment of the boundary area to the surrounding skin.
  • Redness or swelling recently outside the border of a mole.
  • Changes in sensations, such as itching, mushy, or pain.
  • Changes in the surface of the mole – flaky, moist, bloody, or the appearance of lumps.

Often times you will be difficult to distinguish between ordinary mole and melanoma, it is therefore important for you to consult a skin specialist or a plastic surgeon to determine if you are suffering from melanoma cancer or not.
