You should check everywhere on your body every once in awhile to see if you have a new mole or a body mark bigger than an eraser at the top of a pencil.

If you see you have a new mole or body mark on your body that wasn’t there before, go to the doctor because it could be skin cancer.
The ABCDE rule which signals for signs of melanoma (skin cancer) A= ASYMMETRY: if 2 half’s look different it could be skin cancer B= BORDER: a round smooth border of the mole or skin mark is a good sign, but if it has a unnatural border, get it checked out. C= COLOR: one color is good, but multiple colors could be a sign of skin cancer. D= DIAMETER: if once again, it’s bigger than a pencil erasers, it could be a sign of skin cancer. E= EVOLUTION: if it has change in size, color, or shape, get it checked out.
