As a doctor I suggest you try the ABCDE rule for moles on your body.

A for Asymmetry: It is related to whether the mole is asymmetrical in itself, that is, whether one half is the same as the other half. If there are asymmetries in the mole, this is considered a risk factor. B for Border: Irregular and uncertain borders of the mole are also one of the risk factors. C for Color: Having color irregularities within the mole, for example, some dark brown, some light brown poses a risk. D for Diameter (Size): The change in size of moles over time is one of the situations that pose a risk. Especially moles over 6mm increase the risk rate. E for Evolving: The change in the mole over time is a finding suggesting that there is a risk of cancer.

I wish the best for u.
