Skin cancer self-check: The 5 Warning Signs of Melanoma
A – Asymmetry
One half of the mole or spot is unlike the other half. If you draw a line through it, the two sides don’t match.
B – Border
The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred. Healthy moles usually have smooth, even borders.
C – Color
The color is not the same all over and may include different shades of brown, black, or even patches of pink, red, white, or blue.
D – Diameter
The spot is larger than 6 millimeters across, although melanomas can be smaller when first detected.
E – Evolving
The mole is changing in size, shape, color, or elevation, or it shows new symptoms such as bleeding, itching, or crusting.
