Moles and Birthmarks New York NY

You probably know more about Nevus than you think. Nevus (plural nevi) is a medical term for a mole you’re born with. These are very common types of birthmarks. Another word for this is congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN). They are characterized by being a round or oval-shaped patch of colored skin and they are usually raised from your skin. They can be either single or multi-colored. They vary in size and can have a hair or hairs growing out of them. It is often a choice whether you want it removed or not unless it is determined that it is medically necessary.

It is important to have a full evaluation of your nevi to determine if it needs to be removed. If it’s determined that it does not pose a risk, then you will need to decide if you want it removed for aesthetic reasons, it is important to understand the impact of the treatment for removal.

Dr. Greg Levitin at Vascular Birthmark Center can help you determine which treatment is right for you. He can offer you a series of lasers that are set to different wavelengths, which will enable him to better address your variations of nevi coverage and pigmentation. He offers other treatment options as well.
