How can you tell if a mole is normal?

You can tell if a mole is normal by checking for symmetry, even borders, uniform color, and a stable size. Dermatologists recommend using the "ABCDE" guide to evaluate your skin at home. This simple memory tool stands for Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than six millimeters, and Evolution. The "E" for evolution is the most critical factor to watch. If you notice a mole changing in size, shape, or color, it's time to have it checked by a professional.

According to the American Cancer Society (2026), the five-year relative survival rate for localized melanoma is 99.4%. Catching changes early, before they have a chance to spread, is the key to protecting your health.

Why schedule a professional skin cancer screening and mole check?

You should schedule a professional skin cancer screening and mole check because specialists have the advanced training and tools needed to spot hidden signs of skin cancer. Though self-exams are helpful, some early warning signs are invisible to the naked eye. Dermatologists use a specialized magnifying tool called a dermoscope to look deep into the layers of your skin.

A 2025 clinical meta-analysis showed that experienced dermatologists using dermoscopy have significantly higher odds of accurately diagnosing melanoma compared to primary care physicians. With our team, you'll get the precise care you need. Dr. Williams and our team can quickly identify whether a spot is a harmless beauty mark or a lesion that requires treatment. 

Taking care of your skin is a vital part of your overall wellness. If you have a new, changing, or unusual spot, don't wait to get it checked out. Our compassionate team at Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center offers the expert care and peace of mind you deserve.
