How to check if your mole could be skin cancer?
该怎样检查你的痣是否可能是皮肤癌呢？
Moles are small coloured spots on your skin.
痣是皮肤上的小色斑。
You may have seen a new mole on your skin or noticed a change in an existing mole.
你可能在皮肤上看到了一个新的痣，或者注意到已有的痣发生了变化。
It's most likely nothing to worry about.
这很可能没什么好担心的。
but here are the signs of melanoma, which is a type of skin cancer.
但以下是黑色素瘤--一种皮肤癌--的迹象。
The 'ABCDE' checklist shows the differences between a normal mole and the signs of melanoma.
“ABCDE”检查规则会告诉你正常痣和黑色素瘤的区别。
'A' stands for asymmetrical. Melanomas usually have an uneven shape and two very different halves.
“A”指的是不对称。黑色素瘤的形状通常是不均匀的，左右两边的差异非常大。
'B' stands for border. Melanomas usually have an irregular or ragged border.
“B”指的是边界。黑色素瘤的边界通常是不规则的或参差不齐的。
'C' stands for colours. Melanomas usually have a mix of two or more colours.
“C”指的是颜色。黑色素瘤通常会出现两种或两种以上的颜色。
'D' stands for diameter. Most melanomas are more than six millimeters wide. Six millimeters is around the same size as a pencil rubber.
“D”指的是直径。大多数黑色素瘤的宽度超过了6毫米。6毫米差不多是铅笔尾部的橡皮的直径长。
'E' stands for evolving.
“E”指的是逐渐发展。
A mole that changes size shape or colour, or bleeds, itches or becomes crusty is more likely to be a melanoma.
如果痣的大小、形状或颜色会发生变化，或出血、瘙痒或变硬，则它更有可能是黑色素瘤。
Melanomas can appear anywhere on your body.
黑色素瘤可以出现在你身体的任何地方。
The most common areas to find melanomas are on the back and legs,
其最常见的部位是背部和腿部，
but some rarer types can develop inside the eye, the soles of your feet, the palms of your hands or on the genitals.
但也有一些罕见的黑色素瘤，会在眼睛内部、脚底、手掌或生殖器上发展。

用一面镜子，或是叫一个伙伴、朋友来帮你检查那些你看不到的部位。

也可以拍下照片，这样你就可以看到一段时间内的任何变化。
If you've noticed any unusual changes see your GP.
如果你发现有任何不寻常的变化，请赶快去看医生。
