Patient's question:
A while ago, I felt various discomforts in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was told that it was a tumor disease. I was very worried about how long I could live. Could you please tell me how melanoma is diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is highly likely that the cause is a skin infection. It is difficult to confirm whether it is melanoma. I suggest you go to the general surgery department of the hospital for a follow-up visit. The attending physician will give you a detailed examination, perform local debridement and dressing change, and take a local tissue sample for biopsy. This will help diagnose whether it is melanoma. In the near future, drink more water, pay attention to rest, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid alcohol.
