To figure out how best to get rid of a nevus, you need to find out what it is and how it is formed.
How is a nevus formed?
A mole or nevus is a benign skin growth. The nevus is formed as a result of an increase in cells (melanocytes).
Education can have a different color: from close to the shade of your skin to almost black. If the mole was, say, brown and suddenly changed its color, this is a reason to see a dermatologist.
Also, nevi can have completely different shapes and sizes!
Large (over 12 cm), medium (no more than 12 cm) and small (no more than 2 cm). Edges can be smooth and neat, blurry, sharp, or constantly changing.
Small nevi with neat edges that have not changed over the years should not cause you any concerns.
It is important to understand that the formation of nevi on our body is absolutely normal!
Classification worth knowing.
This is an accumulation of pigments that are located only in the upper layer of the epidermis.
Nevi in this case go deeper than the upper layer of the epidermis, closer to the dermis.
Such formations are always found between different layers of the skin. This is where their name comes from.

An important point! There are many varieties that are signs of a malignant skin formation. Only an experienced dermatologist in a clinical setting can determine the type of mole.
How to distinguish melanoma from nevus?
Melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of the skin, and a mole is a healthy nevus that does not carry any harm. Only an experienced appearance specialist can distinguish melanoma from a mole:
Benign nevus.
It has smooth, neat edges, it is symmetrical and well-defined. The color is smooth, and the size, as a rule, does not exceed 6 mm.
Signs of melanoma.
Asymmetric formation with jagged or ragged edges. It is unevenly colored and not clearly delineated. The melanoma is larger than 6 mm and shows signs of growth.
It is very important to understand that there may be other formations on our body that look very much like moles: warts and papillomas.
