• C Stands For The Color Of Mole: Color of the mole is also essential for detecting whether the mole is cancerous or not. If the color of the mole is even, then it is not a problem. But if has various shades of black mixed with shades of brown then it is a cause of concern.
• D Stands For Diameter Or Size Of The Mole:
  Diameter of mole also plays an important in recognizing the mole as cancerous. If the growth of mole exceeds more than 6mm or quarter to half an inch then it requires medical assistance as it could be cancerous.
• E Stands For The Elevation Of The Mole: Elevation refers to the height of growth of the mole. Elevation tells about the degree to which the mole is raised. Normal moles are flat but if the mole is cancerous then it will raise above the skin at a rapid pace. So, it is important to keep a note of the elevation of the mole.
