A scar on the body causes oncological diseases due to neglect – the doctor

Moles on the human body can lead to various skin diseases if neglected.  This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health, referring to oncologist Tajiddin Mustafoyev.

According to the doctor, even exposure to sunlight can change the nature of the moles or marks and  render them dangerous.  As a result of trying to treat spots independently at home, sometimes a dangerous tumor – melanoma, which appears in the pigment tissue – may occur.  Applying various ointments to it, unknowingly using various methods can damage the skin.

“If the mark is located on a person’s body, such as the neck or head, it should be protected from injury, as the neck is rubbed by the collar of clothes every day.  “If it’s on the head, repeated brushing can damage the scalp when combing your hair,” says the doctor.

Also, if spots appear suddenly, multiply in a short time, crack or become rough on the surface, or change color, becoming dark, you should definitely go to an oncologist.  If it starts to bother you, don't ignore it.  If the mole becomes inflamed, it may accelerate its transformation into a harmful tumor.

In addition, it is necessary to see an oncologist and follow the recommendations based on the specialist’s accurate diagnosis.  If a scar appears due to a simple cold or inflammation, then the patient is sent to the right doctor.
