The alphabet of checking your moles;
- A – Asymmetry – both halves don’t look the same
- B – Border, the mole has blurred/jagger edges
- C – Colour, the mole has more than one colour or changed in colour
- D – Diameter, it is increasing in size
- E – Evolving, Changes to shape, size or colour
Noticing any of these changes does not mean that there is any cause for concern. however, if you do notice any of these changes it is always best to get them checked.
