| The goal of this
guide is to provide the reader with information on moles -the technical
term is nevus (singular) or nevi (plural), which due to their large concentration
of pigmentation cells (melanocytes) are often the place where melanoma
lesions first begin. While we hope you find the links in this guide informative,
they cannot substitute for an examination by a qualified dermatologists.
Pre-cancerous nevi are notoriously difficult to detect, even
for a trained professional. When it doubt, have a dermatologist
check it out.
For some general
information, we turn first to the National Cancer Institute's What
You Need To Know About (tm) Moles and Dysplastic Nevi. To get back
