After having an initial mole check with your dermatologist, here are some things to keep close watch on:
A: ASYMMETRY
This is when one half of a mole doesn’t match the other half.
B: BORDER IRREGULARITY
This is when the edges of a mole are ragged, notched, or blurred.
C: COLOR
A mole’s pigmentation should be uniform.
D: DIAMETER
If the width of a mole is greater than six millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser), have a dermatologist check it out.
If any moles look suspicious, get thee to a dermatologist quickly! Also, remember that you cannot see moles on your back, on the back of your legs, etc. Have a partner or good friend tell you if any moles need attention.
