  43. treatments for melanoma,
  44. the main treatment for melanoma is surgical removal or
  45. excision of the primary melanoma on the skin.
  46. The extent of the surgery depends on the thickness of the melanoma.
  47. Most melanomas are found when they are less than one millimeter thick.
  48. And outpatient outpatient surgery is often the only treatment needed.
  49. Other treatments include radiation medications or in some cases chemotherapy.
  50. Medical procedures include
  51. radiation therapy or moss surgery,
  52. surgeries include skin grafting or a wide local excision and medications include
  53. antiviral drug medication, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
  54. How to prevent melanoma,
  55. limit your exposure to UV. A race,
  56. avoid prolonged exposure to the sun,
  57. avoid tanning beds,
  58. wear sunscreen at all times
  59. wear protective clothing that covers your arms, legs and face when you go outside.
