The mole is scratched. Is it dangerous?

Everyone knows what a mole is, but far from everyone understands that these points on the body can be dangerous to human health and life. For example, if the mole is scratched, this may indicate the development of adverse processes in the body. These education data appear throughout life and throughout the body.

Interesting is the fact that at birth on the body of the baby it is impossible to find any moles. They begin to appear after a few years of life. There is an assertion that every person has birthmarks since birth, though their size is so small that a person can not see them. Most neoplasms can be seen in the period of the onset of puberty, when their number is multiplied every year.

As a rule, brown dots do not interfere with a person at all and do not create any discomfort. And this is normal, given that there are many of them on the body; If each created unpleasant sensations, then life would become unbearable. But there are cases when the mole has increased in size or began to itch, then the question arises about the normality of this process. In fact, such fears do not arise in vain, because if the mole is scratched, it means that inside it there is cell division. And this division in some cases can lead to the formation of a malignant tumor.

The main symptoms of tumor formation include pruritus, a change in size, redness (the so-called pink mole), fluid can be released. If at least one of the signs is manifested, a person should be examined by a qualified specialist. And remember, moles are a special place that can be easily damaged, so it's forbidden to treat with your own forces!

In this case, do not necessarily remove the harassing speck. Observe when exactly the mole is scratched and if this happens, for example, with a sharp change in temperature or weather, then this reaction is due to external factors and there is nothing wrong with that. In any case, a biopsy of a suspicious place should be made to make sure that the neoplasm is safe.

In order to avoid the terrible consequences, you should carefully monitor all the birthmarks that are available on the body. With any change in their structure, color, size, you should immediately contact your doctor, so as not to start the process of increasing the number of cells and the formation of a large tumor.

Malignant tumor does not appear just like that, most often it is caused by abnormal behavior and non-observance of elementary precautions. You can not stay in the open sun for a long time, and if you want to sunbathe, it's best to cover your birthmarks with special pads. In the group at risk of malignant formation, pregnant women are found, as against the background of the strongest hormonal changes, active multiplication of cells can begin. The choice of clothes is not less important, because a substandard thing can damage the surface of the nevus. A trauma in turn can cause skin cancer.

Symptomatic manifestation of cancer is considered a change in the shape of the spot, because the usual birthmark is absolutely symmetrical. The tumor changes its shape, making it vague. "Dangerous" birthmark is characterized by the absence of a clearly traced edge, it simply gradually loses color, smoothly turning into the skin. Cancer can develop without any symptoms, and sometimes a person experiences itchy sensations.

So, if you notice that the mole is scratched or it has changed the shade, maybe it's filled with fluid, then you need to approach the doctor. And to postpone for tomorrow it will be extremely irresponsible, because of the care of one's own health (and attention to detail) life sometimes depends.
