Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have attached a photo for your reference. Is this sign dangerous? It started almost 20 years ago to become dark and it became to be lighter around 5 years ago. Two days ago, again I have noticed this transformation with a white surface and that is healing now. It is around 4 mm. Please clarify what it is.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Is there any complaint in it? How many such lesions are there?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I do not have any complaint. I have just one lesion and there is no infection.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I would suggest you to go for histopathological examination as inflammation over nevus is not considered as a good sign (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If it occurs de novo, then it can be an early sign of malignancy. Sometimes, Meyerson nevus (mole surrounded by eczema) can present like this, but, I would suggest you to go for histopathological examination.
