Reuters - Melanoma skin cancers that are
growing rapidly exhibit a number of identifying
characteristics. According to Australian researchers, rapidly
growing melanomas are thicker, symmetrical, or elevated, have
regular borders, and often itch or bleed. They do not fit the
ABCD rule for melanoma, which stands for asymmetry, border
irregularity, color irregularity, large diameter, the team
notes.
