Look for ABCD moles: A = asymmetrical b= border of mole is irregular c= variegated (different colors or shades within) d = diameter greater than 6mm (the size of a pencil eraser) these are general guidelines ; see your dermatologist if you have any concerns.

Moles: It is hard to know if your moles are worrisome without an examination. It is concerning when moles change - change in size, color, become irregularly shaped, itch, bleed. Most moles are not cancer. Most moles are relatively easy to remove and test. Please see your primary doctor or a surgeon to see if this needs to be removed and tested.
