But checking yourself for skin cancer is as easy as A, B, C, and D!
For instance, A is for asymmetry. Each mole should be symmetric. That means that if you draw a line down the middle, the part of the mole on either side should be a mirror image. If not, find a dermatologist and make an appointment for a skin exam.
B is for border. The border of every mole should be well-defined and clear. If it’s fuzzy, blotchy, or irregular, it should be checked out.
Take a look at the rest of the article for the complete guide to self checking your moles. | | | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the Healthy Boomers newsletter. If you wish to unsubscribe, please click here.
