Moles to be concerned about

Moles are common skin growths that most people have.
While most moles are harmless, there are certain characteristics that can indicate a mole may be cancerous or otherwise concerning.
It's important to be aware of these signs to ensure early detection and treatment if necessary.
Moles to be concerned about often exhibit changes in size, shape, or color.
They may become asymmetrical, have irregular borders, or multiple colors.
If a mole starts to itch, bleed, or become painful, it should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Additionally, new moles that appear after the age of 30 should be monitored closely.
The ABCDE rule is a helpful guide to identify suspicious moles: - **A**symmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other.
- **B**order: The edges are irregular, ragged, or blurred.
- **C**olor: The color is not uniform and may include shades of brown, black, pink, red, white, or blue.
- **D**iameter: The mole is larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
- **E**volving: The mole is changing in size, shape, or color.
If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to seek medical advice promptly.
Early detection of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
