ABCDEs of Melanoma
Asymmetrical A
Melanoma lesions are typically irregular or not symmetrical in shape. Benign lesions are usually symmetrical.
Border B
The borders of an early melanoma tend to be uneven or difficult to define. Edges may be scalloped or notched.
Colorful C
The presence of more than one color (black, brown, blue, red, etc.) or the uneven distribution of color can be a warning sign. Benign moles are typically one shade.
Diameter D
Melanoma lesions are often greater than 6 millimeters in diameter, which is greater than the size of a pencil eraser.
Evolving E
Any change in size, shape, color, or elevation is important in diagnosis. New symptoms such as bleeding, itching, or crusting should be brought to the attention of the healthcare provider.
