There is a mole among us!

One simple yet effective way to monitor your skin health is by regularly checking your moles.

Early detection of any abnormalities can make a significant difference, especially when it comes to skin cancer.

Your skin is your body's largest organ, and keeping it healthy is essential for your overall well-being.

Here's how you can use the ABCDEs to check your moles and why you should consider scheduling a health screening during your next holiday in Turkey.

Understanding the ABCDEs of Mole Checks

The ABCDEs are a set of guidelines that help you evaluate your moles for signs of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. Here's what to look for:

A - Asymmetry: If you draw a line through the middle of the mole, do the two halves match? Asymmetrical moles can be a warning sign.

B - Border: Check the edges of your mole. Are they irregular, blurred, or ragged? Moles with uneven borders should be examined by a professional.

C - Colour: Is the mole a uniform colour, or does it contain various shades of brown, black, tan, red, blue, or white? Moles with multiple colours are concerning.

D - Diameter: Is the mole larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)? While not all large moles are dangerous, it's a good idea to have them checked.

E - Evolving: Has the mole changed in size, shape, or colour over time? Any changes in a mole's appearance should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Why Regular Checks Matter

Regularly checking your moles and knowing what to look for can help you catch potential skin cancers early when they are most treatable. If you notice any of the ABCDEs, it's crucial to schedule a professional screening.
