Low Awareness of Small Diameter and the <scp>ABCDE</scp> Rule for Melanoma Self‐Detection: A Survey‐Based Study
Our study showed low awareness that melanoma can be small in size and of the ABCDE rule for the detection of melanoma. Identifying gaps in knowledge about melanoma may guide the design of clear, targeted messages to educate the public and enhance early self-detection.
