A-symmetry. Both halves of a healthy mole usually look the same.
B-orders that look irregular. The edges of most melanomas aren't smooth-they often have scalloping.
C-olor Variation. Melanomas can have patchwork color or take on hues like black, gray, red, white or even blue.

E-volving, expanding or enlarging. If anything starts changing quickly, have it checked.
