Examination by a dermatologist once a year, or more often if there is a personal or family history of melanoma, is important to make sure that a suspicious change has not started in one of the moles.<\/p>\n<p>If the dermatologist decides that a nevus needs to be removed, removal is a very quick and simple medical procedure. Depending on the type of wart, the doctor will choose the best method of removal, surgical removal or excision (shave).<\/p>\n           \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n

Characteristics of the lesion may include a change in size, shape or colour, as well as ulceration (wound formation) or bleeding. The places where moles usually appear are mainly the back, hands, feet or face, as well as the genitals. In men it occurs mainly on the trunk, while in women it occurs on the lower limbs.<\/p>\n<p>Melanoma is a less common but extremely aggressive type of skin cancer. The damage is caused by melanin cells, the cells that produce melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its characteristic colour. In advanced stages, melanoma can metastasise and even lead to death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                    \n                                    <div class=\"dp-row-align--s dp-order--first dp-order--l-last\">\n                <figure \n                    class=\"dp-aspect--10-7 dp-aspect--m-4-3\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" \n                        class=\"dp-media-fit dp-img-focus--50-50 dp-img-focus--m-50-50\" \n                        src=\"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/melanoma.jpg\" \n                        alt=\"Melanoma.\">\n                                    <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"dp-section--aux dp-width--full dp-padding-block--l\">\n\n    <div class=\"dp-section-inner dp-zero-vertical\">\n        \n        <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n            <h2 class=\"dp-headline--xxl dp-section--treatments-headline\">\n                Types of nevi            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"dp-section dp-bg--beige\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n\n                \n        <div class=\"dp-grid--2 dp-grid--l-1 dp-gap--m\">\n            \n            <div class=\"dp-flex--col dp-gap--m\" data-module=\"accordions\">\n            \n                        \n                        \n            \n                                    \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-1\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-1\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Nevus &#8211; Congenital Melanocytic                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-1\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-1\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>Congenital melanocytic nevus is present at birth, in about 1% of all newborns and persists throughout life. Congenital nevus varies widely in size and can be several centimetres in diameter and rarely may cover almost the entire skin. However, most congenital nevi are small, almost always over 1 cm, and much resemble the acquired nevi.<\/p>\n<p>This type of nevus is round or oval shaped with spots on the surface of the skin and its tone can vary from slightly pigmented like a sunburn tan to medium or deep brown. Congenital nevus is divided into small (&lt;1.5 cm), medium (1.5-10 cm), and giant (&gt;20 cm). Often within the nevus there are two shades, and the darker one is located in the centre. In some cases, the congenital nevus may have hairs on it.<\/p>\n<p>The main concern regarding congenital nevus is its precancerous potential. There is certainly an increased risk of developing malignant melanoma on such nevi. This possibility is greater in giant congenital nevi. Nevertheless, the risk from congenital melanocytic nevi is low.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                        \n                                    \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-2\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-2\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Nevus \u2013 Acquired Melanocytic                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-2\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-2\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>Melanocytic nevi (common moles) are small clearly defined acquired melanocytic spots or papules. Depending on the location of the cells that make up this type of mole, the following forms can be distinguished in:<\/p>\n<p><b>Moles &#8211; Associated Melanocytic:<\/b><br \/>\nThese nevi are spots or lesions that protrude slightly. The colour of the nevi is light brown or dark brown, with an even distribution of pigment. They are round or oval in shape with smooth borders. The location of these nevi is usually random, although they are clearly more often found on areas exposed to the sun (trunk, arms, legs, sometimes the palms and soles).<br \/>\nA nevus with connective activity has little potential for malignant outgrowth. This in such a nevus is rare, considering that the average person has at least 25 nevi on his\/her body.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moles &#8211; Mixed Melanocytic:<\/b><br \/>\nThey are usually dark-colored moles that protrude. The shape of this type of nevus is round, dome-shaped, smooth, sometimes papillomatous or hyperkeratotic and may have hairs on it. They are most commonly found on the face, head, torso and limbs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moles \u2013 Melanocytic Choroidal:<\/b><br \/>\nThis type of moles usually protrudes the skin, may be brown, light brown or skin-colored, and are round or dome-shaped. They are usually developed on the face and neck, but they can also be found on the torso or limbs. They rarely disappear.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moles &#8211; Alveolar Melanocytic or Sutton Nevus:<\/b><br \/>\nThis is a type of nevus usually brown or light brown in colour which is surrounded by a band of discolouration. This nevus often disappears automatically. It may be a precursor of vitiligo as about 18-26% of people with this nevus may also develop vitiligo. The presence of white algae around a nevus is an immune response of the skin trying to fight the nevus. Because many melanomas also develop such a zone of discoloration, the diagnosis of such a mole should be made very carefully by a dermatologist.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                        \n                                    \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-3\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-3\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Blue Nevus                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-l-itu7x-3\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-l-itu7x-3\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>A blue nevus is an acquired, benign cyan or greyish-black lesion or nodule that usually occurs in childhood or late adolescence.

However, it is different in the pigmentation and does not appear on face.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                        \n                        \n                        \n            <\/div>\n               \n            <div class=\"dp-flex--col dp-gap--m\" data-module=\"accordions\">\n            \n            \n                        \n                       \n                        \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-r-itu7x-1\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-r-itu7x-1\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Epidermal Nevus                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-r-itu7x-1\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-r-itu7x-1\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>Epidermal nevus occurs from birth or within the first decade of life and may increase in size during adolescence.

If this type of nevus does not fully resolve spontaneously then its remnants can be surgically removed in the second decade of life. Alternatively, treatment with systemic corticosteroids and\/or B-blockers may help in childhood, especially for bleeding vascular nevi with severe symptoms.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                        \n                        \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-r-itu7x-5\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-r-itu7x-5\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Port-Wine Stain                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-r-itu7x-5\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-r-itu7x-5\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>The Soft Hemangioma (Port-Wine Stain) is not a genuine type of nevus.
