How to detect early signs of skin cancer

By: Neutrogena

Below are five ways to detect early signs of skin cancer.

If you have any concerns, schedule a free screening today!

A is for Asymmetry

how-to-check-image-a

If you were to draw a line through the mole, would the two sides match?

If not, you should see a dermatologist.

B is for Border

how-to-check-image-b

Are the borders of your mole irregular, scalloped, or blurred?

If so, you should see a dermatologist.

C is for Color

how-to-check-image-c

Does the mole contain more than one color, or shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white, or red? If yes, you should see a dermatologist.

D is for Diameter

how-to-check-image-d

Is the mole greater than 5mm in diameter (about the size of a pencil eraser)?

If yes, you should see a dermatologist.

E is for Evolving

how-to-check-image-e

Does the mole change in size, shape, color or even bleed?

If yes, you should see a dermatologist.
