Location:
Often, a nevus can be detected on the hairyparts of the head (in this case it is laced with hair). Education on the skin can be either single or cover the whole body - it depends solely on the physiology. Nevus is a disease that can slowly progress throughout life. A small skin defect in a child often turns into a major nuisance by mature age.

However, keep in mind - before removing it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist and oncologist. The same applies to moles and warts. After removal of the nevus traces should not remain.

Cryodestruction
Liquid nitrogen removal is also consideredrather effective procedure, although it takes much more time than the previous two options.
