Abstract

Melanocytic nevi, commonly known as moles, are benign skin lesions that often occur in children and adolescents. Overall, they are less common in children compared to adults. Understanding the diagnosis and management of melanocytic nevi and risk factors for melanoma development is crucial for their early detection and appropriate treatment. This paper presents children’s most common melanocytic nevi, including their epidemiology, morphology, diagnostic methods, and treatment.
