Knowing the ABCDEs of Melanoma

: Pasadena Nursing and Rehab Caregivers

Living in a state known for the year-round beach weather, we are exposed to the sun more than those living in northern states. California residents should take extra cautionary steps to prevent the risk of skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation has provided the “Warning Signs: The ABCDEs of Melanoma” for anyone to check to see if their mole could be dangerous. The ABCDE of melanoma refers to the asymmetry border, color, diameter and evolving of the mole. In the guide, the Skin Cancer Foundation has provided pictures so it’s easy to tell what is considered normal and abnormal. Early detection is key to successful treatments of various cancers including skin cancer. Should you have any concerns regarding any abnormality of a mole or any health-related problems, you should consult with your physicians as soon as possible.
