🔎KNOW THE SIGNS... Melanoma doesn’t always look dramatic, painful or obvious. Sometimes the warning signs are subtle. That’s why the ABCDEFGs of melanoma detection, as recommended by Melanoma New Zealand, are such a powerful tool for early identification.
✨ A — Asymmetry: one half looks different from the other
✨ B — Border irregularity: edges that are uneven or notched
✨ C — Colour variation: multiple colours or patchy tones
✨ D — Different: a spot that stands out from your other moles
✨ E — Evolving: any change in size, shape, colour or sensation
✨ F — Firm: feels harder than the surrounding skin
✨ G — Growing: increasing in size or changing quickly
Knowing what to look for matters. 👉 Early detection saves lives 👈.
