Slide show: Melanoma pictures to help identify skin cancer
By Mayo Clinic staff
Melanoma pictures for self-examination
Melanoma — a serious form of skin cancer — is often curable if you find it early. These melanoma pictures can help you determine what to look for.
Follow this A-B-C-D-E guide, adapted from the American Academy of Dermatology's self-examination guide, to determine if an unusual mole or suspicious spot on your skin may be melanoma.
