00:00One critical sign of skin cancer is the emergence of new moles or changes in existing ones.
00:05Keep a close watch for any irregularities, as these could signal melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer.
00:11Remember the ABCDE rule, A is for asymmetry, where one half of the mole doesn't match the other.
00:17B stands for border irregularity, a mole with scalloped or jagged edges is concerning.
00:23C is for color variation, indicating more than one color present.
00:27D is diameter, a mole larger than a pencil eraser warrants attention.
00:32Lastly, E is for evolution, meaning any change in size, shape, or color over time
