Spot Check Your Moles

Spot Check Your Moles Remember…if found early enough, most skin cancers can be treated and cured. Consult your health care provider immediately if you notice that a mole has one or more of the following features:
	Asymmetry One half unlike the other half Irregular shape, tail, or jagged edge Change in surface texture (scales or oozing) A sore that won’t heal, scab that repeatedly comes off, bleeds or becomes ‘velvety’
	Border irregularity Scalloped or poorly circumscribed border
	Colour varied from one area to another Shades of tan and brown, black, and sometimes white, red or blue
	Diameter Larger than 6 mm (top of a pencil eraser)
	Evidence of change
