Moles are small, coloured spots on the skin. Most people have them and they're usually nothing to worry about. Check if your mole could be cancerous using our ABCDE check list.

Swipe across!

A – Asymmetry
B – Border
C – Colour
D – Diameter
E – Evolution

Please remember to see a GP if:
• you have a mole that's changed size, shape or colour
• you have a mole that's painful or itchy
• you have a mole that's inflamed, bleeding or crusty
• you have a new or unusual mark on your skin that has not gone away after a few weeks

Finding a melanoma as early as possible can mean it's easier to treat.
