ABCDE of Melanoma

Doctors highly recommend that everyone learns the ABCDE of Melanoma, so that you will be able to detect changes on your skin, such as spots, blemishes or moles, that may be attributed to Melanoma, or skin cancer. Early detection through a skin check in Melbourne and other areas where the potential for skin cancer is high, is key when it comes to treatment, as that is when they are most treatable.

Irregular spots and blemishes may not necessarily mean skin cancer, however it is vital to know your basics so that you can identify changes on your skin, and with early detection and a proper skin cancer check in Melbourne through Skin Only, you can have absolute peace of mind.

The ABCDE of Melanoma:

A

Asymmetry

One half of the spot or mole does not match with the other half.

B

Border irregularities

Edges are ragged, notched or blurred.

C

Colour

Colour variations from one area to another.

D

Diameter

Usually Melanomas are 6 mm or above in diameter, but can also be smaller.

E

Evolving

A mole or spot that looks different from the rest, or changes rapidly in colour, size or shape.
