The ABCDE method (check for asymmetry,border irregularity,color variation,diameter,and evolving [changing] in any feature)should be used to assess lesions for signs associated with cancer.Any positive finding using this method requires the lesion to be examined by a dermatologist or a surgeon.The other options are good instructions for clients too,but this client is worried about lesions that are already present.
