Can nevus spillus tend to turn cancerous?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I have seen your query and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). From your descriptions and given image, it does seem you have nevus spilus. There is nothing to worry about. The nevus spilus is present in 3 % of fair-skinned people. It is a benign lesion that may develop more spotted elements over time. Once this lesion formed, it is presumed to persist throughout life. Rarely, this nevus may be present at birth, and more commonly the lesion becomes evident during infancy or early childhood. If you find a sudden increase in size, differential pigmentation, bleeding, irregular borders, etc., then you may go for a skin biopsy. This one is least likely to shows these changes because malignant melanoma very rarely arises from these lesions.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
