      Hi,

      I’m wondering if some of you could answer my question. When they talk about assymetry in a mole does the assymetry ONLY regard shape or does it also include color. As an example if i have a mole that is nice and round but has a dark spot on one edge (wich makes it so that if i fold it down the middle one way it’ll have two sides of wich one has a colored spot and the other one doesn’t but in shape they are symetrical) is considered assymtrical or only considered to have a variation in color?

      Thank you for your answers.

          Asymmetry as I understand it concerns the shape.  The “C” involves mole color.
