You know, our skins are like a big garden of the body, moles, colors, everything. But sometimes, it’s mixed in with “uninvited visitors”, who come quietly but have a great destructive power, namely, a skin malignoma. It’s like the Night Protector on the skin. It sounds mysterious, but it’s really tough. But don’t worry, let’s talk about the Night Protector today and unmask it and see what we can do about it.
First, our skin is like a vast land with a variety of “livings”. In these “livings”, there is a particular “variant” that may have been harmless mole cells, but in some cases it may have mutated into extremely destructive skin malignomas. It’s like a challenger in the dark, and it’s probably just a small black dot at first, but over time it’s gonna get bigger and darker, and it’s like the shadow of the dark. Moreover, it is growing at a fast pace, as if challengers were rapidly expanding their territory and threatening the safety of their surroundings.
Secondly, this malignant melanoma in the skin, and the other subtlety is that it’s good at using the “deep eyes” method. It is often disguised as harmless moles or colours that make it difficult to detect. But if we look closely, we can find something. For example, if a mole suddenly becomes much larger, or the colour becomes uneven, or even signs of ulcer, haemorrhage, etc., may well be the Night Protector is demonstrating to us. This is a time when we can’t afford to take it lightly and get to a doctor and find out what it is by professional inspection.
Thirdly, once the presence of malignant melanoma in the skin is confirmed, we have to take immediate action. Fortunately, we have a complete “toolbox” to deal with this uninvited “challengers”. Surgery: This is the most immediate and effective method, like carrying out an accurate “heading-up” that takes out the tumor and its surroundings. Radiotherapy: For some patients who cannot or are at higher risk of surgery, radiotherapy is like an invisible “cage” in which the tumor is trapped, preventing it from growing and spreading. Chemical treatment: If tumours have been transferred, then a full-body chemical treatment is required. It’s like carrying out a “big sweep” of the whole body, killing tumour cells in the body by importing chemicals. New treatments: In recent years, new treatments have emerged, such as immunotherapy and target-oriented treatment. They’re like providing us with new “weapons” to make us more confident in the battle against the Nightguard.
Fourthly, despite these coping strategies, prevention remains paramount. We should keep an eye on skin changes and conduct regular skin checks, like the gatekeepers who guard our territory. If any anomalies are detected, it is necessary to seek medical attention, professional diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, we need to be careful not to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time, because UV is one of the major factors in causing skin cancer. In outdoor activities, protection measures such as sunscreen and suncaps can be used to reduce UV damage.
Skin malignant melanoma, though a difficult opponent, can effectively control its growth and development if we have the right coping strategies. Just as we face any challenge, we must be vigilant and courageous enough to defeat the Dark Night Guardian on this skin.
