    The components of the Rule of Nines are: Head 9%, Chest 9%, Abdomen 9%, Upper back 9%, Anterior leg 9%, Posterior leg 9%, Entire arm 9%, Genitalia/perineum 1%, and the surface area of the palm represents 1% of TBSA.

    The components of the ABCDE criteria for melanoma are: A for Asymmetrical, B for Borders irregular, C for Color dark and variation, D for Diameter large (>6mm), and E for Evolving.
