\n Melanoma <\/p>\n \n

\n What is it? <\/h2>\n \n <\/div>\n \n
\n

Melanoma looks like a nevus or papule with a different morphology than usual. Its colour can vary from black, blue, dark brown or grey and in more advanced lesions it may start to swell and become thicker. Symptoms that may accompany it are itching, bleeding and epithelialisation (crusting).<\/p>\n

Melanoma of the skin can occur at any age, with a higher incidence in people aged 40-60 years. However, in recent years there has been an increase in cases in younger people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As the factors that favour its development are skin type and exposure to sunlight, people with fair skin, freckles, nevus, a family history of melanoma and people who are frequently exposed to the sun or have received radiation therapy are at increased risk of developing it.<\/p>\n

The incidence of melanoma is particularly high in countries with increased solar radiation, such as Greece. Often, melanoma occurs in people with immunodeficiency or people who have undergone chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
