HealthDay - (HealthDay News) -- Abnormal moles may indicate skin cancer. To
spot a mole that could be malignant, follow these suggestions from the
Cancer Research Institute:


A -- Asymmetry -- Cancerous moles tend to have an irregular
shape.
B -- Border -- Cancerous moles often have abnormal borders that may
have ragged edges.
C -- Color -- Multiple colors or shades of brown and black often
appear in cancerous moles, rather than a solid shade.
D -- Diameter -- Cancerous moles are usually larger than benign
moles -- typically about the size of a pencil eraser or larger.
