The ABCDE rule stands for Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than 6mm, and Evolution or change in appearance. It is used to distinguish normal moles from potential melanomas, as melanomas often exhibit these characteristics. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are both types of skin cancer, but they typically do not present with the same characteristics as melanomas. Freckles are a normal pigmentation variation and do not typically exhibit the same characteristics as melanomas.
