Melanoma prevention

The goal is to help you spot changes over time and avoid delaying professional checks.

ABCDE criteria

A practical framework, not a diagnosis.

Evolution

Change over time (shape, color, size or symptoms) is often the most important signal not to ignore.

Watch for

  • Fast changes
  • Persistent itch or pain
  • Bleeding, crusting or ulceration

When to see a dermatologist

  • Fast or significant changes
  • Bleeding, crusting, ulceration
  • Persistent itch or pain
  • A new mole or one that looks different ("ugly duckling")

Risk factors (check more often if...)

  • Family history of melanoma
  • Many moles (50+)
  • Fair skin, red/blond hair
  • Severe sunburns in the past
  • Immunosuppression

Use Mooles as a photo journal

Between visits, keep a consistent history and bring photos to your dermatologist when needed.
