History and examination
History includes questions around size, shape, colouration, or ulceration of the lesion. Bleeding or pruritic lesions should have a high clinical suspicion for melanoma.
ABCDE is a useful way to assess lesions:
- A: asymmetry
- B: border irregularity
- C: colour
- D: diameter > 6mm
- E: evolution
