The American Cancer Society ABCD Skin Cancer Rule to Help Determine When You Should See a Doctor E-mail
Written by Administrator   

The American Cancer Society recommends using the ABCD rule to help determine when you should see a physician regarding a skin or mole change:

  • A for asymmetry: one half is differently shaped than the other
  • B for border irregularity: jagged or blurred edges
  • C for color: the pigmentation may not be consistent
  • D for diameter: moles greater than six millimeters (the size of a pencil eraser)
