D: Diameter + E: Evolving
The next early sign of melanoma that you should know is the diameter of the mole. Small-sized moles tend to be benign. Most melanomas typically have a size larger than an eraser, which is around 6 mm. However, do not ignore a mole only because it has a small size. A melanoma may be not big in the early stages. If you notice it grows and other signs above appear, make sure to inform your doctor immediately [4].
Another thing that you need to check is the evolving of the moles. This includes any changes in terms of shape, color, or size. Make sure to see whether it becomes raised or not. When it causes bleeding or itching, you should also inform your doctor. If the blemish or mole grows in size quickly, immediately seek medical attention from your doctor as it may indicate an early sign of melanoma [5].
