The American Cancer Society advises you to become familiar with birthmarks, moles and blemishes so that you know what they look like and can identify any changes in them. Signs to look for are changes in size, texture, shape and color of blemishes or a sore that does not heal. The ABCD rule is a helpful guide to signs of melanoma. Notify your doctor about any of these signs:
A is for asymmetry: Half of a mole or birthmark does not match the other half.
B is for border: Edges are irregular, ragged, notched or blurred.
C is for color: The color isn't the same all over but may have differing shades of brown or black, sometimes with patches of red, white or blue.
D is for diameter: The area is larger than six millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser) or is growing larger.
