A specific acronym (ABCDE) has been created that summarizes all the moles' characteristics that we need to pay attention to.

- A stands for Asymmetrical in terms of the shape (if the mole doesn't appear circular or round, this may be a sign of melanoma);

- B stands for no noticeable Borders or irregular ones;

- C stands for variable Color (if the mole shows different shades of color in the same area);

- D stands for Dimension (it's necessary to check whether the moles are getting bigger or thicker, and if they are 6 millimeters wide in diameter);

- E stands for Evolution: If a mole keeps changing in dimension and/or in color, if it looks asymmetrical and if the borders are irregular, it's important to have it checked by a doctor.
