Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and caring for it plays an important role in your overall health. Regular skin checks help detect changes early, when treatment is often most effective.
One helpful way to monitor moles and spots is the ABCDE guide:
A – Asymmetry: One half does not match the other
B – Border: Irregular or uneven edges
C – Color: Multiple shades or uneven color
D – Diameter: Larger than a pencil eraser
E – Evolving: Changes in size, shape, or color
If you notice a new or changing spot, our dermatology providers at DermPhysicians of New England can assess your skin and help determine the best course of action.
