Melanoma – how to recognize it?
Melanoma is one of the easiest forms of cancer to diagnose because it grows on the surface of the skin and most often on exposed parts of the body. That is why regular and careful observation of your own skin is so important. Thanks to it, melanoma can be detected early. Any birthmark, growth, or mole that is disturbing or changes over time should be checked as soon as possible.
What should you pay special attention to? The five basic features are called ABCDE for melanoma. These are:
- A – asymmetry, e.g. a mark “pouring out” to one side,
- B – edges that are irregular, uneven, jagged or have thickenings,
- C – red or black, non-uniform color,
- D – large size, lesion size greater than 0,5 cm,
- E – evolution, that is, progressive changes taking place in the birthmark.
Who is most at risk of developing melanoma?
People with a particular type of beauty are more likely to develop melanoma. This group also includes those with a family history of skin cancer. In addition, melanoma most often affects middle-aged and elderly people.

- light complexion,
- bright Eyes,
- blonde or red hair
