    I have many moles and worry about skin cancer. 🔍 What makes a mole worth showing to a doctor?

    Moles and skin checks: when should a spot be looked at?

    My approach

    Check Detail
    Asymmetry ➡️ Halves look different
    Border ➰ Irregular or blurred edges
    Color 🌈 Multiple shades
    Diameter 📏 Larger than 6mm
    Evolving 🔄 Changing over time
    • Annual full skin check
    • Photo-tracking new spots
    • Sun protection daily

    Have you ever had a mole removed? What happened? 🩺
