What are Nevus Types?
The average human body has about 40 nevi. These nevi are spread across different parts of the body and can be seen in different sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. The colors of nevi are usually black and brown tones. Some nevus species may have thin feathers on them, while most nevi may also have long, thicker, and coarser feathers than usual. Most often the size of these nevi is less than 0.5 mm. The vast majority of nevi are formed later. During adolescence, the formation of nevus increases. These nevi are skin lesions that are usually benign. Compared to people with light skin, dark-skinned people have less nevus. While some types of nevus are like a stain at the skin level, there are also fluffy nevus types called an epithelial polyp. The question of why epithelial polyp occurs can often be answered by genetic factors and pregnancy. However, the epithelial polyp can also be removed due to the use of turtlenecks and ties, diabetes, and obesity. Some nevus can be benign, while others may be malignant.

The patient should decide together with the patient-doctor about surgical nevus removal operation or laser nevus removal treatment.
