Is beauty mole a disease?

Speaking of beauty moles, everyone will think of a series of stunningly beautiful women. The legendary beauty mole is even more popular because it grows between the right nostril and the lips. That’s why it’s called the most beautiful beauty mole. But, is beauty mole a disease? Will it endanger human health? Let’s look into it.

It is a mole in the early stage and may become a tumor in the late stage.

In fact, from a medical point of view, any pigmented mole that grows in a place that is frequently subjected to friction must be taken seriously. Repeated and multiple friction stimulation can cause a very small number of normal pigmented moles to turn into malignant melanoma, which is a terrible cancer! Even the so-called beauty mark cannot fail to attract attention.

Although the current incidence of melanoma is relatively low, at approximately 0.8/100,000, the latest research suggests that malignant melanoma has become the fastest growing malignant tumor among all malignant tumors in recent years, with an annual growth rate of approximately three to five percent. There are many types of melanoma, but internationally it is generally divided into four basic types, namely acral type, mucosal type, chronic sun damage type and non-chronic sun damage type. China and other Asian countries are mainly affected by the first two types. If melanoma can be detected, diagnosed and treated early, the prognosis is often better. According to medical research reports, patients in stage I can live for an average of more than 5 years. However, if the disease is discovered late, the prognosis is often poor, and most melanoma patients can only live for 1 to 2 years. However, the emergence of some new chemotherapy drugs and targeted therapy drugs in recent years has further extended the survival time of melanoma patients.

Once the pigmented moles on your body show some abnormal symptoms, be sure to remember to go to the hospital to see a doctor in time. The ultimate standard for confirming the diagnosis of melanoma is excisional biopsy and pathological diagnosis, and immunohistochemical staining is the main auxiliary means for distinguishing melanoma. Currently, the main methods for treating melanoma include surgical resection, chemoradiotherapy, and immune targeted therapy.

So having a "beauty mole" is a good thing, but beauties should also have a sense of crisis and be wary of the possibility that these beauty moles may turn malignant! Therefore, we should also "treat these "beauty moles well" in our daily lives: use less physical or chemical stimulants to stimulate them for a long time, and never "abuse" them with local stimulation such as cutting with knives, salting, lasers, and freezing, because long-term and repeated adverse stimulation is one of the important factors for the malignant transformation of normal pigmented moles.

Warm reminder of the Little Long March

No matter how beautiful a beauty mole is, it may also become a malignant disease, so we must take good care of the beauty mole and prevent it from becoming malignant. In this way, the beauty mole can make us beautiful while not affecting our health.
