Moles (nevi)

Moles contain skin pigment cells and they can appear anywhere on the body and have a range of colors. Most are dark brown. The majority of moles are not dangerous, but some can turn into the skin cancer called malignant melanoma. The ABCDE rule can help one know the difference between a mole and melanoma. A: Asymmetry-moles are symmetric in shape, melanomas are asymmetric meaning they look different on one side compared to the other. B: Border-moles have regular borders, melanomas have irregular, rugged or notched borders. C: Color-moles have the same color throughout while melanomas tend to have varied colors within the same growth. D: Diameter-moles tend to be less than 1/4 inch (6mm) whereas melanomas often are larger. E: Evolution-moles do not change size, shape or color, whereas changing size, shape or color increases the chance that the skin lesion is melanoma. The medical term for a mole is a nevus.
