Question

11 which of the following is an indication of melanoma? a symmetrical mole b pigmented spot that has smooth borders c pigmented spot that contains areas of different colors d spot on the skin that is smaller than the size of a pencil eraser

Explanation:

Melanoma is often characterized by an irregular - shaped, pigmented spot with uneven coloration. A symmetrical mole, a pigmented spot with smooth borders, and a small spot (smaller than a pencil eraser) are less likely to be melanoma. Asymmetry, irregular borders, variegated color, diameter larger than 6mm, and evolution (change over time) are the ABCDEs of melanoma detection. A pigmented spot with areas of different colors is an indication of possible melanoma.

Answer:

C. pigmented spot that contains areas of different colors
