[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Melanoma is preventable and can be caught early if you watch for the signs.
Melanomas usually have one or more of these ABCDE’s:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”235″ img_size=”full”][vc_custom_heading text=”A: ASYMMETRY” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:40px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”bold letter-spacing”][vc_column_text]

The mole is varied from area to another. There may be shades of tan and brown and black and sometimes even white, red or blue.

The diameter of the mole is larger than 6 mm (as a rule), which is the same diameter of a pencil eraser.

Ordinary moles do not change over time. A mole that changes in size, shape, color, or texture is a warning sign as is a mole that tingles, itches, burns, bleeds, oozes, or feels strange. Another warning sign for melanoma is a sore that does not heal. ANY changes to ANY moles in ANY way should be evaluated by a doctor immediately!
