Melanoma Screening
Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that begins in cells known as melanocytes. Early screening is crucial as melanoma can spread quickly if not caught early.
Screening Indicators (ABCDE):
- Asymmetry – one half does not match the other
- Border – irregular, scalloped, or poorly defined borders
- Color – varied colors (tan, brown, black, red, white)
- Diameter – larger than 6mm
- Evolving – change in size, shape, or color
