Melanoma - #18601
A small mole on my back started changing color a few months ago, and now I’m really worried. It was always light brown, but recently, it’s gotten darker and uneven around the edges. At first, I thought it was just a normal skin change, but then I read about melanoma and got scared. I don’t know if I’m overreacting or if I should see a doctor immediately. I spend a lot of time outdoors, and I rarely use sunscreen. My skin tans easily, so I never really thought about sun damage. But now, I’m wondering if my lifestyle could have triggered this. I read that excessive sun exposure is one of the main causes of melanoma. Is that true? If so, does that mean I have a higher risk of developing it? Another thing that worries me is that melanoma can spread quickly. I’ve read that once it reaches a certain stage, it can spread to other organs. How can I tell if my case is serious? Should I be looking for other symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or swollen lymph nodes? Doctor, I’m also interested in knowing if there are any Ayurvedic ways to slow down or prevent melanoma. Are there any herbal remedies or dietary changes that can help? Some people say turmeric and neem can help fight cancerous cells, but I don’t know if that’s actually true. Also, if it turns out that I have melanoma, is surgery the only option? Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help manage it without aggressive procedures? I really want to take action before it’s too late. What should be my next step? Should I get a biopsy immediately? And is there any natural way to stop this from getting worse?
