May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month!
The ABC's of skin cancer include any change or development in a mole or skin growth that should prompt you to see a dermatologist.
These may include:
A- Asymmetry - You should notice the general look of your moles or growths, for example, if one half of the mole or growth does not match the other half.
B- Border Irregularity - If the edges of the growth are ragged, notched or blurred.
C- Color - The pigmentation of the growth is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown and black are present. Dashes of red, white and blue add to the mottled appearance.
D- Diameter - If the width is greater than 6 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser), it could be an indicator of an abnormal skin growth. Generally, any new mole growth should be a concern.
