Skin cancer is asymmetrical; that is, it is not uniform in shape. If you were to draw a line down the middle, the two sides would look different from each other. In contrast, a non-cancerous mole is typically symmetrical.
The borders of skin cancer spots are also irregular, not clearly defined, bumpy and even cloudy when compared to regular moles with their very distinct edges.
One of the five signs of skin cancer is its pigmentation, or coloring. If it changes over time or is several different colors, or has any black, red, blue, white, or multiple shades of brown, the spot may be cancerous.
Typically, if the skin spot in question is larger in diameter than a regular-sized pencil eraser (about 6 millimeters) it is cause for concern and should be checked by a dermatologist or other specialist.
A raised bump is another of the five signs of skin cancer. While normal moles have some slight elevation about the skin, the concern is with even higher levels of elevation accompanied by a bumpy texture, or when the mole grows taller over time.
As you might have noticed, the top five signs of skin cancer can be remembered using ABCDE -- A for asymmetry, B for border, C for color, D for diameter and E for elevation.
