What are the warning signs of melanoma?

  1. Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving

  2. Pain, Redness, Swelling, Infection

  3. Itchiness, Burning, Scaliness, Roughness

  4. Firmness, Tightening, Lump formation

The correct answer is: Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving

The correct answer is A, which stands for Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving. These are the key warning signs of melanoma and are commonly referred to as the ABCDEs of melanoma detection. Asymmetry refers to one half of the mole or lesion not matching the other half. Border irregularity indicates that the edges are notched, irregular, or blurred. Color variation within the same lesion or mole, specifically shades of tan, brown, black, blue, red, or white, can be a warning sign. Diameter greater than 6 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser) is also an important indication. Evolving means changes in size, shape, color, elevation, or any other trait of the mole or lesion over time. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the warning signs of melanoma. Pain, redness, swelling, infection, itchiness, burning, scaliness, roughness, firmness, tightening, and lump formation are not typically associated with the warning signs of melanoma.
