Common Skin Conditions

Dysplastic Nevus

A dysplastic nevus is an abnormal mole, but is a benign lesion and not cancer. Dysplastic nevi (or atypical moles) do have a relatively low potential to turn into a skin cancer called melanoma. Atypical moles can be inherited (run in families). Having a dysplastic nevus puts you at a higher risk of developing a melanoma over your lifetime. Therefore, regular skin checks by your dermatologists and sun protection are recommended.
