Mind Your Moles
You can check your own skin for moles that look different. Learn the ABCDE rule to determine whether moles should be biopsied:
- A: asymmetrical shape
- B: border (the outer edges are uneven)
- C: color (dark black or multiple colors)
- D: diameter (greater than a pencil eraser)
- E: evolving (change in size, shape, and color)
