How to know when to get your mole checked
It’s very common to have moles on your body. However, if a mole changes or a new one appears, it’s important to get these checked out by a suitably qualified clinician.
The ABCDE rule for warning signs of melanoma, a type of skin cancer, can serve as a helpful guide to determine if a mole should be checked.
Evergreen Life's article here can also provide information on different types of skin lesions.
