Usually, the first sign of dysplastic nevus is a change in the size, shape, color or feel of a mole. The ABCD rule can help you tell whether the mole is normal or not. Moles that have any of these signs should be checked by your doctor.
A symmetry: It means one half of the mole does not match the other half. B order irregularity: The edges of the mole looks ragged, blurred, or notched. C olor: The color over the mole is not the same and may be shades of tan, brown, or black, and sometimes patches of pink, red, blue, or white. D iameter: The mole is larger than about 1/4 inch, although sometimes dysplastic nevi can be smaller. The mole is growing or changing in shape or color
Some dysplastic nevi do not fit the "rules" above and may be hard to tell if the mole is normal or not. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell the doctor so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
