In order to help determine features of a mole that might be concerning for a melanoma, there is a mnemonic called the ABCDEs of melanoma. Any of the following features should prompt an urgent examination by a dermatologist: Asymmetry: one half is unlike the other half Border: an irregular, scalloped, or poorly defined border Color: variations of tan, brown, black, and sometimes white, red, or blue Diameter: melanomas are usually greater than 6mm (size of a pencil eraser) Evolving: anything that looks like a mole but is changing while others arent Most moles are considered benign (not cancerous), but there are some that are called atypical nevi
