ABCD for identifying possible melanomas

For identifying possible melanomas, think ABCD:

A for Asymmetry — one half is different from the other half

B for Border Irregularity — the edges are uneven or blurry

C for Colour — the colour is uneven with maybe shades of brown, tan and black

D for Diameter — where the diameter is bigger than a pencil eraser (6 mm)
