When to Worry About a Mole: Consultant Advice on Spotting the Warning Signs

It’s normal to have moles and marks on your skin but some changes deserve a closer look. Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early, and even benign lesions can affect your wellbeing if left unchecked. Here’s what to watch for: 

 

ABCDEs of Mole Assessment 

  • Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn’t match the other 
  • Border: Edges are ragged, blurred, or uneven 
  • Colour: Several shades, or new areas of black, red, white, or blue 
  • Diameter: Larger than 6mm (the size of a pencil eraser) 
  • Evolving: Changing in size, shape, colour, or symptoms (itching, bleeding) 

 

Other warning signs: 

  • A mole that suddenly appears in adulthood 
  • New or unusual skin lumps 
  • Persistent itching, bleeding, or crusting 

 

What should you do?
If you notice any of these changes, don’t ignore them.
