Large Congenital Melanocytic Nevus Details

Expanded Description

Something like one person in 100 is born with a small one of these. “Large” usually means it is bigger than 3cm across (about an inch) and “Giant” usually means it is larger than the hand of the person whose body it is on. These terms are not exact, and different doctors call them different things and use different words, depending on a lot of factors like if they are on the torso or on the head or on the arms/legs.

It’s important to know that there are not many doctors who know very much about these big birthmarks. It is best to find a doctor who has experience with large or giant nevi.
