Malignant skin diseases

Skin problems are issues that each of us will pay attention to. Rashes, eczema, urticaria, etc. are all well-known skin diseases, and these diseases are relatively mild. Skin diseases, like other diseases in the body, may become malignant, such as erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and herpes zoster, and the conditions are quite complicated. The following is a detailed introduction, let’s take a look together.

■ Erythematous scaly skin disease

Usually this skin disease will present as scales, which are the epidermal stratum corneum that falls off our skin, with varying quantities and shapes. Usually it occurs mostly due to secondary damage caused by some skin diseases. Some of the more common dermatoses we see may cause erythema and scaling, such as seborrheic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, etc. However, some malignant tumors are also related to it. Especially for the elderly, if erythematous and scaly skin diseases continue to occur in their lives, they need to be highly vigilant about the risk of malignant tumors of the skin.

Dermatomyositis of the skin

When dermatomyositis occurs, it will affect our striated muscles, eventually causing various injuries to the skin, and even eventually affecting the internal organs of the body. It is an autoimmune connective tissue disease. It manifests itself in a variety of ways, and it is difficult to diagnose it based on just one symptom.

It is more common on the face, such as purple-red spots on the eyelids. As the disease progresses and deepens, it may even appear behind the ears, on the scalp, on the neck, on the cheekbones, and on other parts of the body. When you close your eyes, the capillaries on the eyelids are very clear.

In real life, some patients may even develop purple spots on their joints, lose pigmentation, and even cause dilation of the body's capillaries and ulcers. Relevant research has shown that the occurrence of dermatomyositis is related to some visceral tumors in our body. And the higher the age of onset, the greater the risk of tumors. Commonly seen ones include gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, etc.

■Herpes zoster on the skin

Shingles is an infectious skin disease usually caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is a common herpes zoster virus. It is sudden and usually appears densely, mostly unilaterally, and distributed along the nerve belt; it often causes obvious pain when it occurs, and generally does not recur after healing.

Shingles is a relatively common skin disease in our lives. However, there are also many related studies showing. If a person over the age of 50 suffers from this disease, he or she is likely to develop visceral tumors, the most common of which are gastrointestinal tumors and lymphoma.

■ Orange peel-like changes in the skin

When the breast skin shows orange peel-like changes, you should be vigilant. This may be because the breast mammary lymphatic vessels are blocked by the tumor, causing lymph reflux problems in the breast, and finally causing edema in the dermis. However, if you find that your breasts have orange peel-like changes, you need to make a comprehensive judgment based on other physical symptoms. The best way is to go to the hospital for consultation and examination.
