[edit] Merge with Birthmark
It would be inaccurate to merge nevus with birthmark. Birthmarks are congenital nevi, but there are many other types of nevi which are not present at birth. —Brim 03:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Someone needs to check this page for accuracy. Dysplasic nevi do transform into Melanoma, according to their page and everything else I've read. I don't feel qualified to make these changes, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.99.25 (talk) 10:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] unfinished information...
This article is lacking information about nevi being located in the eyes. Sometimes located in the iris viewed by the naked eye, or in my case, behind the eye and only located through a rountine eye exam..This can result in the removal of the eye at the most extreme cases....People need to be aware and educated on this!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.19.63 (talk) 22:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] other types of nevus
My son has a large darkened region on his chest -- about six inches across. We went to the dermatologist, who said it was harmless, and gave it a name -- some kind of nevus, but now, thinking about it, I can't remember what he called it -- so I came on here trying to figure out what he said -- and I find this very pitiful little article. It really doesn't say much at all about the topic, certainly not about different types of nevus, like my son has. Can someone beef this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skysong263 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
