Laozhao has one thing on his mind: there is a big black mole behind him.
As he gets older, people become more worried about this problem and that problem. In the past two years, Laozhao has seen another popular movie in which a strong man died in a few months because of a mole on his instep that became cancerous.
He remembered that he also had a mole behind him. He originally thought it was an old mole and didn’t pay attention to it. After taking a bath this day, he turned around and looked in the mirror. Oh, there were more than a dozen mole behind him. One of them was as big as a thumb cover and looked very rough on the surface.
When it was over, Laozhao’s heart was cold and it was over.
Laozhao couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep soundly. He often woke up in the middle of the night and got up to look at his wife and his glutinous grandchildren in the small room. They all slept soundly. Laozhao could not help crying at the thought that he might say goodbye to them in a few months.
A few months later, [moles] are still those [moles] and have not changed. Laozhao is gaunt. It is always not a way to go on like this. Laozhao’s heart crossed and he went to the hospital.
After some examination, the doctor stabilized Laozhao’s palpitation. The doctor said that this was [senile wart].
What is [senile wart]?
The doctor explained to Laozhao that the professional name of [senile wart] is seborrheic keratosis, which is a common benign intraepidermal tumor. This [wart] is generally not long for young people, but it will grow when they get older.
When can you call it [getting old]?
Men begin to grow after the age of 40, while women usually do not begin to appear until after menopause. Generally speaking, more men than women have this [wart].
It doesn’t hurt, so sometimes the patient doesn’t notice it when it grows slowly. Although it is a [intraepidermal tumor], it is benign, it doesn’t subside by itself, but it doesn’t grow very fast. This is also different from malignant tumors, which usually grow very fast.
How do you know if you have [senile wart]?
The doctor went on to explain to Laozhao that dermatologists usually judge by naked eyes. When necessary, some examinations will be made.
This [senile wart] looks flat, dark in color, with clear edges and a layer of greasy thick scab on the surface.
However, [senile wart] has two [brother diseases], one is called flat wart and the other is called solar keratosis. These two diseases are very similar to [senile wart].
At this time, we have to use a magic weapon-skin mirror to help us, that is, to enlarge it and look at it again.
With that, the doctor took Laozhao to a computer-like machine and took several photos of Laozhao’s mole with a probe.
Laozhao saw his mole magnified dozens of times on the small computer screen and saw it very clearly. The doctor pointed to the photo and explained to him: You see, this mole has lines like mountain valleys and valleys, and there is an opening at the top like acne. This, this and several hair follicle horn plugs, which are seborrheic keratosis characteristics, different from other diseases.
The A circled on the left is [senile wart]
Laozhao couldn’t understand it. He only felt that it was strange to see the mole so big. He only cared about one thing: Are you sure it’s not cancer?
The doctor had to comfort him once again, This mole grows quite typical, naked eyes see and use skin mirror magnification, has a preliminary judgment. If it is not so typical, for example, suspected malignant tumor, we can also cut a piece down on it, do a pathological examination. In addition, if the psychological burden is very large, affect normal life, can also be given to do this examination clearly.
Why is this thing growing?
Laozhao still does not understand one thing. Why did he grow this thing himself?
Doctors reassured him that from the common name of “senile wart”, it can be found that it is mainly due to old age, so it grows. In addition, some studies by scientists said it may be related to how much sun exposure or genetic factors.
Is it contagious? How?
Although the name carries the word “wart”, it is not the same as the usual “wart”. It is not contagious, does not turn evil into cancer, and has no effect on health. The main effect is the beauty of skin.
There is no need to give injections and take medicine for what. The laser can burn it off. If you don’t mind if it hinders your eyes, it doesn’t matter to keep it.
Laozhao finally fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart and sighed with emotion, “Doctor, you don’t know, I have scared myself in the past few months, and I have lost several kilos of weight. I am so suppressed in my heart. Only after asking today did I know that I have suffered all the crimes of injustice.”
The doctor smiled again. Even if it is really a bad thing in what, the solution is to see a doctor early and treat it early. Doctors always have more ways!
This kind of skin appearance observation cannot be seen by oneself. Clinical dermatologists have studied for many years and have seen many patients. Sometimes they may not be able to handle it accurately. Therefore, if they suspect that they have developed strange [moles], they should not be fanciful about eating and sleeping, nor should they be cautious about medical treatment and delay their illness. It is good to see it in time.
