What Are Atypical Moles?

(4.9) Rating

Atypical moles are unusual-looking moles that differ in size, shape, or color from typical moles. Identifying and monitoring atypical moles is crucial for early detection and prevention. Characteristics of Atypical Moles include:

  • check-icon
    Irregular shape with uneven borders.
  • check-icon
    Larger than standard moles (usually over 6mm in diameter).
  • check-icon
    Varied colors, often a mix of tan, brown, black and red.
  • check-icon
    Uneven texture or elevation.

Not all atypical moles are cancerous, but certain types may increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Regular skin checks are essential for monitoring changes and ensuring timely intervention.

How to Identify
Atypical Moles

The ABCDE Rule can help you distinguish atypical moles from normal ones:


A – Asymmetry

One half of the mole doesn’t match the other.

B – Border

Irregular, blurred, or notched edges.

C – Color

Multiple shades or uneven distribution of color.

D – Diameter

Larger than a pencil eraser (6mm or more).

Changes in size, shape, color, or texture over time.


If you notice any of these signs, schedule a consultation with Coral Dermatology for an expert evaluation.
