Dangerous moles: symptoms, how to recognize, treatment, prognosis

In medical terminology, a mole is called a "nevus" (from the Latin "naevus maternus") - it is a formation on the human body, which consists of cells producing the pigment melanin.

Presence of moles should not cause concern, however, some dangerous moles can provoke serious oncological diseases. To avoid possible unpleasant problems, you need to closely monitor them. Transformation of an ordinary birthmark into a dangerous malignant tumor is no longer a cosmetic problem, but a serious oncological disease. Thanks to the achievements of modern cosmetology and medicine, today there are many opportunities to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Causes of the a dangerous birthmark

Many superstitious people think that the fate of a person depends on the number of moles. The more birthmarks there are, the happier a person is. Doctors have a different opinion on this, since dangerous birthmarks on the human body create big problems, sometimes degenerating into malignant melanoma or basal cell carcinoma of the skin. Let's list the main reasons for the degeneration of ordinary birthmarks into dangerous moles. It:

• Skin development defects. Such causes at the birth of a child usually remain unnoticed, their detection occurs in the third or fourth year of the child's life, when dangerous birthmarks increase noticeably in size.
• Heredity. The fact of the transfer of moles by heredity was noticed long before the advent of DNA tests. Some neoplasms are encoded in a DNA molecule by a gene chain that is passed from parent to child. However, acquired birthmarks are not inherited.
• Ultraviolet in large quantities. During sunburn in the basal layer of the skin, melanin is produced by special cells of melanocytes.

• With a strong exposure to ultraviolet rays, melanotropic hormone is produced, which in turn increases the number of melanocytes. In other words, instead of tanning, an intensive increase in melanocytes begins. Such birthmarks (nevi) are called acquired. Therefore, staying in the active sun should be limited. Also not recommended hobby for a solarium. Statistics show that people with sensitive and light-colored skin, with a lot of pigmentary, birthmarks and freckles, as well as women who are over 30, are especially exposed to ultraviolet radiation.

• Injuries. Any scratches, small wounds, traces of an insect bite, as well as self-removal of a mole, pulling out hairs, etc., can provoke the development of dangerous moles. The matter is that with mechanical damage, various layers of skin are affected, therefore, inflammation of the tissue occurs, and biologically active substances that stimulate cell growth are produced.
• Hormonal risk factors. Most often in a hormone, the provocateur of development of moles is the melanotropic hormone of the pituitary gland. Distinguish pathological and physiological hormonal changes in the body, which can serve as a background for the development of dangerous moles: adolescence during puberty, during pregnancy and in individuals prone to the development of endocrine diseases. In this case we are talking about.
• Bacterial and viral infections. Recently, such a version is being considered in medicine. The mechanism of appearance of nevi is similar to traumas, as a result of which the neoplasm develops against the background of the inflammatory process.

Proceeding from the above, it can be concluded that patients with acquired moles (nevi) are at risk, moreover, acquired neoplasms have a great propensity to degenerate into dangerous moles.

Pathogenesis

Nevuses can be hereditary, congenital, appear during puberty and in a later age period. The appearance of new birthmarks before the age of 30 is considered a normal physiological process. All nevi, which appear on the human body after 30 years, should be examined for malignant tumors.

[2], [3]

Symptoms of the a dangerous birthmark

Benign moles do not pose a threat to human health. However, an ordinary birthmark can become dangerous and turn into a malignant formation.

[4], [5]

First signs

Dangerous birthmarks (nevi) on the body can turn into malignant formations. To prevent this, one should inspect the body once a month, assessing the condition of the moles. Particular attention should be given to birthmarks located in hard-to-reach places, such as back, head, there are cases of localization of moles on the mucous membrane of the body. In such situations it is necessary to resort to the help of a loved one. To identify dangerous birth marks, you need to know the first signs by which you can determine them. We list some of them:

• Pay attention to the color of the birthmark. Its color should be uniform. Color can be similar to the skin, or vice versa, the color of the mole radically changes to the opposite, black color. There are cases when the edges are unevenly colored, that is, one part of the edge is light, gradually shifting to a darker tone. In the event that the birthmark has a discoloration, or it may have a mixed color, this is the first sign of a malignant formation.
• Active growth is observed, the mole strongly increases in size. In this case, it can become highly compacted. The normal size of the birthmark is from 0.6 to 1 cm. Sometimes the mole decreases. If the parameters exceed the allowable limits, you should immediately seek the advice of a specialist.
• A mole may develop around the mole (swelling), which spreads to the epidermal structures of the tissue.
• The marked edges of the mole become pale, more blurred.
• Hair loss from the surface of a mole.
• Feeling of pain, itching. The mole can itch, tingle, bleed, forming a dense crust on the surface.
• The mole changes its configuration, the edges become blurred, asymmetry is observed.
• Sometimes the lymph nodes increase.

Dangerous birthmarks (including melanoma) can spread not only throughout the body, but also deep into tissues, with metastases being literally affected by all organs, including the liver, kidneys, lungs, etc.

Dangerous birthmarks in children

Immediately after birth, mothers examine the body of their baby, and very many of them are concerned about the problem of moles. The process of appearance and formation of nevi occurs up to 25 years, but there are congenital moles. True birthmarks on the child's body appear after six years. With age, their number may increase or decrease. Children's birthmarks are no different from the birthmarks of an adult. They can be convex, flat, light brown in diameter up to 1 cm, but mostly they are small pigment spots that are difficult to detect by touch. According to statistics, in 80% of cases the birthmarks of a child do not cause problems, but this does not mean that parents should not monitor their condition. Timely detected dangerous birthmarks on the child's body, can reveal a serious oncological disease in its initial stage.

Small birthmarks in children are absolutely safe. In the risk zone are large moles and pigmented spots. According to medical statistics, about 40% of them become dangerous malignant tumors. Dangerous birthmarks on the child's body are:

• moles of large sizes;
• the appearance of a large number of moles;
• birthmarks that are in an easily accessible place and can easily be injured.

Therefore, such education on the body of the child should be kept under close scrutiny. Also, if the mole on the baby's body itches, flakes, changes its structure, shape or color, you should immediately contact a specialist.

Dangerous birthmarks in children can be divided into several types. It:

• Red spots. The most common formations on the body of a baby. They are formed as a result of direct contact of the fetus with the bones of the pelvis of the future mother. Such spots pass within a year.
• Brown pigmentation spots. These are ordinary birthmarks that can disappear and appear again over time. Such nevuses are not particularly dangerous, but one must keep track of their condition.
• Wine stains. These are the formations, which are the expanded capillaries located on the face or head of the child. They have the property of increasing as the child grows up, but their color does not change. Recommended laser treatment, starting from an early age.
• Strawberry hemangioma. Bright red, soft to the touch, a convex birthmark that can be congenital or appear right after the birth of the baby during the first weeks of life. Birthmark can increase, change shape, and color. Such education is not subject to treatment, moreover, if you start the procedure for removal, there may be the most irreversible consequences.
• Cavernous hemangioma. A large accumulation of deeply located blood vessels. It has a bluish-gray color. Disappears independently to 12 years of a child's life.
• Pigmentary nevus. A pigmented spot of relatively small size, can be congenital or formed independently in early childhood. The people has the name "birthmark". There is no particular danger, however, there are some forms, such as dysplastic nevi, which can degenerate into malignant skin tumors.
• Red mole (angioma). A reddish pigment spot located on any part of the baby's skin. Benign formation of vascular origin. Angioma in children may be an emotional problem or a cosmetic defect. In rare cases, malignant nature of education can be observed.

As you can see, not all the above mentioned nevi and birthmarks are dangerous, however, in the presence of certain factors, they may be in the risk zone. According to medical statistics, the probability of oncological formations in children is increased by 10 times.

[6]

Forms

Moles (nevuses) are benign formations, which by their nature do not cause any special unpleasant sensations. However, there are cases when these completely unobtrusive black spots change, turning into dangerous birthmarks. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically examine your body, carefully look at the birthmarks to prevent pathological changes.

Which birthmarks are dangerous?

What provokes the degeneration of the usual pigmentation spot into malignant melanoma? The reasons can be the following:

• the mole is in an easily accessible place, it is constantly "rubbed" with clothes, at a touch it is easily injured. Such nevi experts advise to remove. Before you begin the removal process, make sure that this is a benign formation;
• excessive infatuation with a solarium;
• active sunlight. Experts advise to use sunscreen, cover moles with clothing made of cotton fabrics.

Absolutely safe can only be congenital pigmentation spots of small size. All the other pigmented formations on the body can be questioned, so carefully monitor the changes so as not to miss dangerous birth marks. The main thing is do not delay the visit to the doctors.

Red moles on the body - a signal of dangerous diseases

Red moles in medical terminology are called angiomas. This collection of small vessels and capillaries, which are localized under the skin of a person, causing a discoloration, in this case red predominates. Angiomas are a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon, but many believe that these are dangerous birthmarks. Is it so?

Red moles can appear in large numbers. How can they be dangerous? Among a huge number of versions on this subject, you can identify some of them:

• the problem of liver function;
• insufficient amount of vitamin K in the body (menadione);
• diseases of an autoimmune nature;
• oncological diseases;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, especially the pathology of the pancreas;
• hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, puberty).
• serious disruptions in the cardiovascular system of the body;
• malnutrition, as a result of which a large number of toxins accumulate in the intestine.

So, if a small area of the body appears from six or more red moles, this is already a signal about the development of a serious disease in the body. It will be mistaken to think that small red spots on the skin can be removed by yourself. This should not be done, as this can lead to bleeding, and subsequently become a cause of cancer.

As a rule, red birthmarks on the human body are not of particular danger, but if they are rapidly spreading, disturbing, or you notice other symptoms, this is already a serious signal that changes are occurring in the body. To date, there is no single answer to the question of the appearance of red moles. The factors listed above can provoke their appearance.

In any case, if these symptoms occur, it is urgent to see a doctor, because only a doctor can identify dangerous birthmarks, and determine which ones should be removed immediately.

Dangerous black moles

Moles of black color differ from others only in color. They, like all the other birthmarks have a rounded shape, the right dimensions (there are small deviations), a flat surface, etc. In general, black birthmarks appear equally on the body of men and women, and their color spectrum is a feature of human skin. The color of the mole depends on the amount of melanocytes, and not only. An important role is played by melanotropic hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland (the gland responsible for growth, development and metabolism in the human body), therefore, several body systems take part in the process of staining the moles.

The risk of transformation of a black birthmark in melanoma is quite large. For example, dangerous birthmarks can change the structure, and in monotonous black color, add shades of gray or red. This is a kind of signal that unfavorable processes begin to develop in the black mole. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the dynamics of changes, which is expressed in the following:

• the surface must be smooth;
• a clear symmetrical shape;
• absence of roughness, peeling;
• the birthmark should not bleed.

Special attention of physicians is recommended to draw on large black moles, in which the diameter exceeds 6 mm.

Dangerous Convex Birthmarks

Physicians consider bulging birthmarks to be the most vulnerable entity on the human body. They are dangerous because they are constantly at risk due to their large size and convexity. At any time you can feel contact with clothes or underwear, moreover, it is easy to hook and injure. The slightest trauma of the birthmark is very dangerous, moreover, it can turn into the development of skin cancer.

From a medical point of view, convex birthmarks are less prone to transformation into melanoma, as they are more visible and are always under control. Nevertheless, it is desirable to remove convex birthmarks.

[7],

Dangerous large moles

Large moles, especially those that melt on the face, always attract the attention of others.

Moles of large sizes are not always dangerous. If the nevus does not change its condition, there is no sense for excitement. You just need to periodically monitor the appearance, regularly conduct an inspection. A large mole can thicken, ache, itch, etc., in this case there is every reason to assume that it can be transformed into malignant formation.

Dangerous flat birthmarks

Flat birthmarks in medical terminology are called lentigo. This is the most ordinary, harmless kind of moles, the presence of which can be overlooked. Flat birthmarks are:

• solar;
• youthful;
• senile.

Solar moles are the result of the influence of ultraviolet rays on the skin. Their diameter is about 0.5 cm. Color can vary from light brown to black. The older the birthmark, the darker it is. The most vulnerable to the appearance of lentigo are fair-haired and light-skinned people, as well as young people who are excessively addicted to the solarium. Solar moles are not dangerous to health and are not associated with chronic diseases.

Youthful flat birthmarks or juvenile lentigo appear on the skin of young people. These are dark spots in the form of a circle or oval with a diameter of 3 to 15 mm, which can also manifest as a rash. The edges of the juvenile lentigo can be serrated or simply flattened. They can be localized not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes. The reason for the appearance of such a form of moles is still unknown, but one can definitely state that this type of lentigo is formed by the action of ultraviolet rays. Such birthmarks can appear from childhood.

Older flat birthmarks occur in old age.

Flat birthmarks are not dangerous, most often they are harmless to the body. You can get rid of flat moles with the help of bleaching creams and / or cosmetic procedures of clarification. To reduce the risk of flat moles, you must avoid ultraviolet rays, eat right and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Complications and consequences

From moles the consequences do not happen! There are consequences after the procedure for their removal, which depend on many reasons. We list some of them:

• characteristics of the birthmark, its parameters;
• qualification, professional skills of a specialist;
• equipment, quality of medical preparations;
• the patient's reaction to the course of the operation.

After the operation during the healing, the wound is covered with a black crust, which must peel off independently. Moreover, if the crust goes ahead of time, a wound opens again, into which infections and bacteria can penetrate, which can result in serious inflammation. The wound should be treated with a weak solution of manganese. For the period of healing, the birthmark should be protected from moisture, which means that you should refrain from visiting the pool, bath, taking a bath.

After 2-3 weeks, instead of a black crust, a patch of fresh pink skin appears. The renewed skin area is particularly sensitive. It should be protected from getting ultraviolet rays, since pigment spots can appear on this place. Use sunscreens, cover areas of the body with clothing made of cotton fabrics.

The remaining scars and scars gradually disappear, however, for better effect they can be lubricated with cocoa butter, which is sold in the pharmacy.

[8], [9]

Complications

Dangerous birthmarks can provoke serious consequences and cancer, which really threatens human life. Experts recommend that they be removed if necessary. After the removal of the mole, the following complications are possible:

• dull pain, burning or itching;
• an allergic reaction to anesthesia. To remove the birthmark did not go without complications, before the start of the procedure, it is necessary to make a test for the perception of medications;
• presence of scars and scars. For rapid healing, it is necessary to follow all the doctor's recommendations, apply special ointments for healing and smoothing of scars. With the passage of time, these consequences disappear.

Dangerous moles are recommended to be removed in a medical institution, entrusting this responsible process to a professional who has experience and knowledge. Visiting beauty salons is not advisable, as this can lead to serious negative consequences.

[10]

Is it dangerous to hamstrung a mole?

To remove birthmarks, without any serious reasons, there is no sense. However, there are situations in which a mole is accidentally injured. Especially often this happens if dangerous birthmarks are on the wrist, neck, on the head or come into contact with clothing. In any case, damage to the moles can cause a transformation into malignant formation.

If the birthmark is accidentally skipped, you need to stop the bleeding. Dampen the sterile tampon with hydrogen peroxide and attach it to the damaged mole. Then, take a dry sterile swab and hold it for 15 minutes. It is compulsory after that to seek advice from an oncologist.

The most common cause of melanoma is trauma of a birthmark. Medical statistics indicate that about 40% of melanomas occur on the basis of accidental injuries.

Is it dangerous to injure a birthmark when shaving?

Often dangerous birthmarks are in an easily accessible place on the face, and during shaving are injured. In the event that the razor touched the birthmark, it is necessary to stop the bleeding, treating the site with hydrogen peroxide. Materials used for treatment must be sterile.

If the razor completely cut off the birthmark, it must be wrapped in a bandage or gauze moistened with saline solution and make a histological analysis. A partially traumatized birthmark needs to be shown to a dermatologist, who will later remove it and send it for analysis.

If the mole has been repeatedly damaged by a razor, it must be removed immediately. In addition, it is mandatory to undergo histological examination of excised tissues.

Diagnostics of the a dangerous birthmark

To establish the correct diagnosis, the doctor should carefully inspect the dangerous birthmarks and conduct the following types of examination:

• Anamnesis. This type of diagnosis is the right questions for the doctor to find out a family history. There is detailed information about who of close relatives had dangerous birthmarks or birthmarks, whether there was any diagnosed melanoma in the family. Further the doctor should learn about risk factors and the reasons which could cause changes of a nevus, and also presence of a chronic pathology.
• Visual inspection of moles - dermatoscopy. The presence of a malignant nevus can only be confirmed by a biopsy of a suspicious skin area.

How to recognize a dangerous birthmark?

Any normal birthmark on the human body under the influence of certain causes can change pathologically and become dangerous. In this case, it is important to be able to distinguish two of its states.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention regularly to the appearance of the birthmark. The doctors developed a special method that will help any interested person to recognize dangerous birthmarks. The abbreviation of English letters ABCDE will indicate the key points to which you should pay special attention. By the way, this method is called - ABCDE.

• A - asymmetry. The normal state of the birthmark can be defined as follows. Visually divide the birthmark into two equal halves. If both halves are symmetrical to each other, there is no point in fear. In the case where one half begins to grow to the side, you should sound an alarm.
• B - change the edge of the mole. This is one of the signs of malignant formation - melanoma, when the edge of the mole becomes more pale or blurred. In the normal state, the birthmark should have perfectly flat edges.
• C - mixed color. By its nature, the birthmark always has one color. Heterogeneous color with heterogeneous impregnations of other shades causes alertness.
• D is the diameter dimension. The birthmark should not exceed a diameter of more than 6 mm. If this happens, consult a doctor immediately.
• E is the change. In this case, any distortion of shape, size, color, etc. Is implied.

If there is at least one symptom, immediately consult a specialist. Throughout life, the mole remains unchanged.

In order to easily remember the above signs, there is a Russian-language memo called AKORD, each capital letter of this word corresponds to the first letter of dangerous symptoms:

• A - asymmetry;
• K is the edge;
• O - color;
• P is the size;
• D - dynamics.

In the risk category, those who already had dangerous birthmarks and removed them, as well as having hereditary factors of neoplasm development, turn out to be those.

Analyzes

When examining and diagnosing nevi, no tests are required.

If dangerous birthmarks are removed surgically, you may need a general blood test, a biochemical blood test, and a urine test. Such a list of analyzes is necessary for a general assessment of the work of the body and internal organs. In this case, the analyzes reveal chronic diseases of the patient, which in the future can affect the outcome of the disease. Sometimes the results of tests reveal contraindications to the removal of dangerous moles.

[11], [12]

Instrumental diagnostics

Dangerous moles are diagnosed with digital dermatoscopy.

Using a dermatoscope, you get a clear digital image of the birthmark, which is displayed on the computer monitor. Due to the possibility of multiple optical enlargement, the dermatologist analyzes in detail the shape, color, contours and other external signs of the mole. In addition, the procedure creates a "map" of moles, located throughout the human body, which makes it possible to continue to monitor the nevi for further prevention.

In view of the fact that nevi are large in size and asymmetric shape, data are needed on when the pigment focus began to change. It can be unequivocally said that any dangerous birthmark needs a biopsy.

Biopsy is a reliable and accurate method of diagnosis for the definition of malignant neoplasms, metastasis of nevus melanoma. The accuracy of the biopsy method is equal to 100%, provided that the procedure itself is correctly performed.

There are two types of biopsy:

• puncture;
• total excision;

In the process of puncture biopsy, a piece of nevus tissue is taken with a special needle, the number of cells for analysis is limited. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Total excisional biopsy is a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. By this method, the tumor is removed and used for histological examination.

Histological examination is considered the most important and reliable. As a rule, this is the final form of diagnosis, in which a tissue fragment taken after a biopsy is assessed under a microscope.

In the event that there is a suspicion of melanoma, in order to avoid the spread of metastases, additional ultrasound, x-rays, and MRI are prescribed.

Differential diagnosis

All kinds of moles are differentiated with melanoma and basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

Treatment of the a dangerous birthmark

Getting to the treatment of moles it is necessary to undergo diagnostics, it is desirable to have the results of tissue biopsy. Treatment of moles involves only removing them.

You can remove dangerous birthmarks using the following methods:

• surgical removal of a birthmark;
• laser removal;
• cryotherapy;
• electrocoagulation;
• radio wave surgery.

Let us consider in more detail the operation of these methods.

Surgical removal of moles. In some cases, dangerous moles are suggested to be removed by surgical procedure. In the case when the data of the results of the study indicate the malignancy of the mole, the operation is performed only by the oncologist, after which radiation can additionally be administered to the site of removal and / or chemotherapy. A mole, which has no signs of malignancy, can be removed by a dermatologist or a cosmetologist.

The surgical method of removing a mole involves excising the tissues with a scalpel. Pigment cells and a skin area around the nevus are removed. The operation is under local anesthesia. After the operation, a scar may remain. Recently, the surgical method for benign moles is not used.

Laser removal of a birthmark. The most popular, effective and in-demand method of removing moles in our time. During the removal procedure, the patient does not experience pain and discomfort. Feels tingling and warmth. With the help of a laser, liquid is evaporated from the tissue, after which the cells die. A positive aspect of this method is the treatment of a large number of moles. The method of laser removal does not leave scarring behind. Problematic can be large moles, the diameter of which reaches up to 2 cm. Sometimes there are cases when the procedure can not be performed to the end and part of the mole remains untreated, in the future it can grow again. In this case, the surgical method is more suitable.

Cryotherapy. Method of action on the mole treated with liquid nitrogen cryoapplicator. Low temperature (-1960) destroys pathological tissues. The procedure is painless, allows with minimal impact on the skin, to heal the treated area completely without leaving traces.

Electrocoagulation. A fairly common method of removing moles. With the help of an electric current, the fabric is affected. After the procedure, you can do tissue analysis. After healing, there is practically no trace left.

Radio wave removal. The most effective method of removing nevi. Thermal energy, formed from high-frequency waves, without affecting the mole, cuts the tissue. At the same time, the pigment cells evaporate, leaving a barely visible trace. The operation time is about 20 minutes. Adverse events such as redness, swelling, inflammation are not observed.

Any of these methods of moles removal requires a high qualification of the physician, who can accurately calculate the effect of the procedure on the tissue of the mole. If the mole is not removed completely, it may appear again.

Medications

A group of Russian scientists of the Institute of Oncology. NN Petrova (St.Petersburg) developed the drug "Refnot", which is used successfully in the treatment of deseminirovannyh forms of melanoma. The drug combines two biologically active components - cicotinum tumor necrosis factor and thymosin hormone. In medical practice, Refront is used as an antitumor agent. The drug was registered and approved for use.

A new generation of drugs "Ipilimumab" and "Nivolumab" stop the growth of cancer cells in the body for about 1 year. Complex use of drugs can reduce the size of the tumor at the last stage of the disease.

Preparations "Ipilimumab" and "Nivolumab" stimulate the immune system. Side effects of drugs are accompanied by chronic fatigue, diarrhea. In some cases, the patient develops a rash.

Alternative treatment

To get rid of unwanted birthmarks you can use alternative medicine. Of course, compared with the surgical method, the process of treatment with alternative means is longer, but there are pros and cons. Alternative treatment does not entail major financial problems, and for the treatment of primitive, mostly organic food or herbs are used.

In any case, if you decide to get rid of a birthmark by alternative treatment, you should definitely consult a dermatologist or oncologist to make sure the procedure is safe. The process of removing a birthmark in alternative medicine is divided into two methods of treatment.

The first method is to block the flow of blood to the body of the mole by tying it at the base of the mole. With this method of treatment, negative consequences are observed, and the most innocuous procedure can turn a birthmark into a dangerous melanoma. At best, the mole will disappear, and after a while will appear again.

The second method of alternative treatment is safer and consists of using several recipes. Here are some of them.

• Vinegar essence, with the help of which moxibustion is done. The procedure is performed once a day, after which the treated area is closed with a bandage so that the infection does not fall. This is a rather painful procedure. The mole disappears within two weeks. If this does not happen, the procedure can be repeated in two to three weeks. According to alternative healers this is a very effective method of removing moles.
• Moles can be lubricated with linseed, castor oil, onion, lemon and garlic juice. Also enjoy the success of wiping with hydrogen peroxide, iodine, baking soda, natural honey. After such procedures, they significantly decrease in volume, and then completely disappear.
• Removal of moles and warts with an old grandmother's recipe. To do this, cook hard-boiled 7 pieces of eggs, pull out yolks from them. Next, dry the dried pumpkin seeds in flour, pre-roasting them to get 5 tablespoons. Thoroughly mix the yolks with pumpkin flour, and add 0.5 liters of vegetable oil. Stir in a glass bowl with a wooden spoon for thirty minutes. This completes the cooking process. The medicine should be stored in the refrigerator. Take on an empty stomach one tablespoon in the morning for 1 week. After this, make a 5-day break and start taking again until the medicine is over.
• Cut off the dry bread ear, and lightly nip the mole or wart with a sharp part of it. Then, bury the straw in the damp earth, and leave the spike on the surface. People say that when a straw rotates, a mole or birthmark will disappear.

Removal of moles by alternative methods is characterized by the fact that as a result of treatment on the body there are no traces and scars. The mole decreases in size and disappears without a trace.

Alternative therapies can help you get rid of unwanted birthmarks, but in any case, you need to remember that to diagnose, remove the mole is only necessary under the supervision of a doctor, even if it is an old-fashioned, old-fashioned method.

[13],

Herbal Treatment

Nevus can be removed at home using herbal medicines, many of which grow in the country or in the garden. To do this, alternative healers use cauliflower juice, garlic, but the most common medicinal plant is celandine. To remove moles use:

• The juice of the plant, which is applied directly to the mole 2-3 times a day, squeezing it directly from the stem and leaves of the plant.
• Ointment with celandine, for the preparation of which you must mix the young leaves of celandine with baby cream or pork fat in the proportion 1: 2. Instead of leaves you can use the juice of celandine, then you should take one part of the juice and 4 parts of the cream.
• Oil, for lubricating moles, based on celandine. Crush the dry leaves and fill them with vegetable oil. Put the capacity in a dark place for a week. After that, lubricate the nevus for one month 2-3 times a day.
• Tincture of celandine. 100 grams of celandine leaves should be poured with 0.5 liters of alcohol and left for two weeks in a dark place. Then filter the tincture. Moles will disappear if you take tincture of 10-12 drops 3 times a day.

A good effect in the treatment of dangerous moles give external preparations. The most effective remedy used for the treatment of moles and melanoma is the ointment "Stephalin", which includes only medicinal herbs. Stephalin painlessly removes birthmarks and warts without leaving scars. The procedure can be performed at home. Ointment does not contain side effects.

There is an opinion that the success of removing moles with medicinal herbs at home is a myth. Many people in their practice used the long experience of healers, as a result of which there was a positive effect - the complete disappearance of moles

Prevention

Dangerous birthmarks have the property of degenerating into melanoma. To prevent this from happening, doctors recommend that simple rules and prevention guidelines be followed, which are as follows:

• Regularly check dangerous birthmarks according to the "AKORD melanoma" scheme. The desired time for examination is the beginning of May and the end of September.
• Avoid exposure to the sun from 11 to 15 hours. Use sunscreens that protect your skin from severe sunburn and reduce the risk of dangerous moles.
• Clothes should be free, preferably of cotton fabric.

• In no case, do not glue the birthmark on the body with a plaster, as a thermal effect is created, which negatively affects the birthmark.
• Sunbathe only in the morning and in the evening.
• Dangerous birthmarks do not tolerate direct sunlight.
• Do not get carried away by visiting the solarium. This is especially true for women who are over 30.
• Use moisturizers.
• Watch for the skin condition. If rashes, itching, redness occur, consult a doctor. Such manifestations contribute to malignant formations of moles.
• Protect the birthmark from mechanical damage. If the mole is in an uncomfortable place and can easily be ripped off, it's best to remove it. Regular trauma leads to inflammation and development of melanoma.
• To provoke dangerous birthmarks on the development of oncology can chemical preparations used in everyday life. Some chemical compounds have a mutagenic effect on dangerous birthmarks. To the factor of risk can also be attributed to smoking.
• If there are dangerous birthmarks on the body, it is necessary to undergo a preventive examination and visit the doctor approximately once a year.

In the risk zone, blond and red-haired people with fair complexion appear, since they have a low melanin content in the body, therefore, they are more prone to exposure to sunlight.

Forecast

The prognosis of dangerous moles depends on the presence of signs of malignancy. An important criterion is the nature of the disease and the stage of its development.

The predictive index for the development of melanoma depends on the number of skin layers involved in the oncological process. Good indicators of the effectiveness of treatment have thin melanomas, less than 1 cm in size.

Moles without any signs of change have a favorable prognosis.
