Skin cancer: The ABCDE checklist can help you look for signs of melanoma

With more than 2,600 skin cancer mortalities a year, Brits are being urged to look out for the key symptoms of the most common cancer - as one-in-three ignore the warning signs.

Early detection is crucial in the fight against melanoma, so it's important to be aware of the ABCDE checklist: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolving size, shape, or color. If you notice any of these signs on your skin, it's important to consult a healthcare professional immediately.
