Atypical Mole

An atypical mole, also known as dysplastic nevus, is an unusual mole that looks different from common moles. It may have irregular borders, varied colors, and a larger size. While most atypical moles are benign, they can sometimes develop into melanoma, a serious skin cancer. It’s important to monitor these moles for changes in shape, color, or size and consult a dermatologist for regular skin checks. Recognizing atypical moles helps in early detection and prevention of potential skin issues.
