Melanoma Misdiagnosis Highlights Dangers of Unqualified Skin Lesion Removal

A young woman's experience serves as a stark reminder of the importance of seeking professional medical attention for any suspicious skin lesions. The case highlights the dangers of relying on unqualified practitioners for medical procedures. The video, created by oncologist onkology_tur, details how a seemingly minor skin lesion, removed at a cosmetology clinic, was later diagnosed as melanoma, resulting in serious health consequences. The oncologist emphasizes that a proper diagnosis requires a histological examination. "If there is any suspicion, it is necessary to remove the lesion with a histological examination and proper resection margins to minimize risks," he states. This case underscores the critical need for individuals to prioritize their health and seek care from qualified medical professionals.
