If you’re in the category of people with freckles and moles on their body, a new mark on your skin is definitely not unusual. However, there are marks that are completely harmless and there are marks that could indicate melanoma, warns Michelle Lee, MD, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California.
“Signs of melanoma are the ABCD’s: asymmetric border; border edge isn’t smooth; color is uneven; diameter is larger than a pencil eraser; and it’s evolving in size shape or texture,” Lee says. Melanomas cause most of the deaths from skin cancer, that’s why it’s extremely important that you pay attention to your skin so that you can identify any problems in due time.
