A 27-Year-Old Dying On TikTok Is Sharing Her Melanoma Story

Melanomas are identified by what’s called “the ABCDEs of melanoma“: A is for Asymmetry (most are asymmetrical), B is for Border (they tend to be uneven), C is for Color (multiple colors are bad news), D is for Diameter or Dark (anything the size of a pencil erasure or larger is a warning sign — same with moles that look darker than your other ones), and E is for evolving (changes in size, shape, color, elevation, or symptoms — aka bleeding, itching, or crusting).
