The easiest way to spot melanoma early is to check your skin regularly and follow the ABCDE rule:
- A – Asymmetry (one half doesn’t match the other)
- B – Border (irregular or blurred edges)
- C – Colour (uneven shades or multiple colours)
- D – Diameter (larger than 6mm)
- E – Evolving (any change in size, shape, or feel)
If you notice a new or changing spot, book a professional skin check promptly. Early detection gives the best chance for successful treatment.
