It’s crucial to monitor moles for any changes that might signal melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. The ABCDE rule can help you remember the warning signs:
Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other half. Border: The edges are irregular, ragged, or blurred. Color: The color is not uniform and may include different shades of brown, black, or other colors. Diameter: The mole is larger than 6 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser). Evolving: The mole changes in size, shape, or color over time.
