Congenital Nevi
A congenital nevus (plural is nevi) is simply a mole you are born with. Nevi are very common birthmarks, and most are not harmful. Removal in childhood is recommended for those producing functional problems such as obstruction, those that are large, producing an unwanted appearance, or those exhibiting cancerous or pre-cancerous changes.
Regular skin checks are recommended for children with large or giant nevi. Very large nevi may require several operative treatments to be fully removed. Dr. Chiasson will work with you and your child’s pediatrician to create an optimum treatment plan.
