Mole Check

Are you wondering if your mole looks normal? Going through the ABCDE’s of melanoma can help you discover whether you should schedule a visit with your dermatologist. (1) A stands for Asymmetry. Is your mole the same on both sides or different? (2) B stands for border. Do you have irregular borders on your mole? (3) C stands for color. Is your mole red, brown, white, or splotchy? (4) D stands for diameter. Is your mole larger than the size of a pencil eraser? (5) E is for evolving. Is your mole suddenly a different shape or size? If you answered yes to any of the above, visit your dermatologist, as these could be signs your mole requires a medical professional’s evaluation.
