The body has cancer, the skin prophet, reminder: there are 4 manifestations on the skin, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible
Do you think that the largest organ in our body is:
heart? liver? lung? Stomach? two kidneys?
Actually neither.
The largest organ in the human body should be: the skin.
The skin is like the "firewall" of the human body, preventing the invasion of germs and maintaining a normal body temperature.
However, the skin is also the largest exposed organ, so that we cannot see it all the time.
This also facilitates our discovery of skin changes.
Because some organs of the body are related, some organs become diseased, and the skin will show.
For example, the most feared "cancer".
Cancer is a very common malignant tumor. At present, there is no specific medicine to cure it. Most cancers can only be relieved by drugs and chemotherapy to relieve the pain of patients and prolong their lives.
At present, many cancers are still a difficult problem that modern science and technology have not completely solved.
Early treatment of cancer is relatively easy, the cure rate is high, and the impact on patients is relatively small, so it is necessary to understand some of the symptoms of cancer.
The skin of the human body is like a mirror, which can well reflect the occurrence and progress of some diseases. There is cancer in the body. If the skin has 4 symptoms, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
- Itchy skin
Itchy skin is a very common physiological phenomenon. Factors such as mosquito bites, dermatitis, dander, allergies, and dust may cause itchy skin symptoms.
However, most itching symptoms can be effectively relieved with treatment.
If the skin often has inexplicable itching, and the itching continues after treatment, you must pay attention at this time, it may be a tumor in the body.
Tumors such as lymphomas have the potential to itch and need to be vigilant.
The skin turns yellow
The skin is delicate and shiny, and the skin looks white and red, which is a healthy manifestation. However, if the skin becomes sallow in a short period of time, or even shows a special golden yellow color, there is no blood at all, it may be jaundice.
If it is accompanied by itching of the skin, the color of urine becomes dark brown, the color of stool changes, etc., it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of digestive tract diseases.
Cancers such as bile duct cancer, liver cancer, gallbladder cancer, and pancreatic head cancer may all cause these conditions.
If such a situation occurs, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
- Acanthosis nigricans
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin disease characterized by a grayish-brown or blackish appearance on the affected area.
Most of the malignant acanthosis nigricans usually accompany the tumor, and about 60% of the patients have skin symptoms and visceral malignancy.
Most patients with malignant acanthosis nigricans mainly show changes in the extremities and oral mucosa, and the skin lesions are usually severe.
If these symptoms mentioned above frequently occur in the skin, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of visceral malignant tumors.
- Spider Mole
Spider naevi are mainly caused by telangiectasia.
There is a point in the middle of the spider nevus, and there are small radiating blood vessel branches around it, and the whole shape looks like a spider web.
The appearance of spider nevus is mostly closely related to liver cancer. If spider nevus appears on the skin, you must go to the hospital for a liver function test in time to see if there is any disease in the liver.
In general, the nature of the skin changes, in addition to the diseases of the skin itself, it may also be caused by organ cancer.
What is the difference between normal skin diseases and skin diseases caused by cancer?
Mainly from 3 points:
First, see if the skin symptoms are persistent and recurring.
Skin diseases caused by cancer, which cannot be cured by drugs, are usually long-term repeated lesions.
Secondly, whether skin complications can find the cause.
For common dermatitis, rash and other skin diseases, doctors can quickly identify the cause, find the cause and treat the symptoms, and the treatment effect is obvious.
For skin diseases caused by cancer, it is difficult to find the cause when visiting a doctor.
To put it bluntly, skin diseases caused by cancer, the effect of drug treatment is not obvious, and common skin diseases, according to the doctor's advice, the effect will be very obvious.
Therefore, some seemingly innocuous changes in skin properties may be caused by cancer.
Everyone must pay attention to observe the changes in their own bodies in life. If you find abnormalities, you must not take them lightly. You should go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time, and receive relevant treatment if necessary.
At the same time, some cancers are closely related to people's daily routine and diet. Everyone should develop good routine, go to bed early, get up early and not stay up late, eat healthy, stay away from junk food, and maintain a happy mood.
