Nevi is a term used in the medical field to refer to small, typically pigmented growths on the skin. These growths, also commonly known as moles, are usually benign and harmless, but can sometimes be a sign of underlying health conditions. Nevi can vary in size, shape, and color, with some being flat and others raised, and may appear anywhere on the body.
Nevi are comprised of clusters of pigmented cells called melanocytes, which give them their distinct color. While most nevi are present from birth or develop during childhood or adolescence, some may appear later in life due to factors such as hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetic predisposition.
Regular monitoring of nevi is recommended to detect any changes that could indicate the development of skin cancer. This can include an increase in size, change in shape or color, bleeding, itching, or tenderness. If any concerning changes are noticed, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and, if necessary, appropriate treatment.
In some cases, nevi may be surgically removed for cosmetic reasons or if there is a suspicion of cancer. However, the majority of nevi do not require intervention and can be safely managed through regular observation and preventative measures such as sun protection.
