Abnormal Moles

Dermatologists use ABCDE as general guidelines for mole evaluation.

A = Asymmetry. Abnormal moles are asymmetrical  B = Border. Abnormal moles have jagged or irregular border or edge. C = Color. Abnormal moles are uneven in color and may have multiple colors or variable shades of color. D = Diameter. A diameter larger than 1/3” (6mm) or more is considered an abnormal feature.  E = Evolution. Any mole that has changed from its previous appearance or any symptoms of itching, burning or bleeding is considered abnormal.  Any moles or skin lesions of concern are best evaluated by your dermatologist or other qualified physician.
