Moles
Are you concerned about any of your moles or skin lesions?
Heres a good tool to use to see if you need to get them checked.
The ABCDE approach
​
A- Asymmetry
Does one side reflect the other? If no then this should be checked by a professional.
​
B- Border
Is the border of the skin lesion smooth or jagged? If the answer is jagged then this should be checked by a professional.
​
C- Colour
Is the lesion one colour or a mixture of colours? If the answer is multiple then this should be checked by a professional.
​
D- Diameter
​
Is the lesion bigger than 6mm? If yes then this should be checked by a professional.
​
E- Evolution
​
Has the mole or skin lesion changed in anyway or is it new, if the answer is yes then it should be checked by a professional
​
​
Here at Dorset Skin Solutions and in collaboration with map my mole, an imaging service is available where by up to 3 different skin lesions can be imaged at one time, which then gets sent to a consultant dermatologist, who will be able to diagnose the lesion and offer advice regarding treatment if needed.
