How can you check for signs of skin cancer?
Keeping an eye on your skin is important for your health, not just for appearance. Noticing changes early can make skin cancer much easier to treat. Looking closely at moles, spots, or bumps on your skin can help you spot problems before they become serious.
A simple way to examine your moles is the ABCDE method:
- A – Asymmetry: If one half of a mole doesn't match the other half, it could be a warning.
- B – Border: Uneven, jagged, or blurred edges are not normal.
- C – Colour: Healthy moles are usually a single colour. Spots with multiple or unusual colours need attention.
- D – Diameter: Moles that are larger than usual or growing over time should be checked.
- E – Evolution: Any mole that changes in shape, colour, or size is a sign to get it examined.
If you see any of these signs, schedule a check with a doctor right away.
Using DermPro can make this easier. It lets you take photos and monitor your moles over time, helping you notice even small changes early so you can get medical advice promptly.
