Hairy Nevus treatment in Cuauhtémoc

A hairy nevus is a type of skin mole characterized by having one or several hairs growing on its surface. It is a usually benign pigmented lesion that may be present from birth or appear over time.

Common features: It appears as a brown or tan spot or raised area with hair, of variable size, on any part of the body.

When is it worth reviewing? It is prudent to watch it if it changes in color, shape or size, if it itches, bleeds or if its appearance worries you.

Which specialist treats it? A dermatologist is the one suited to examine the hairy nevus through a skin review, while the general practitioner can provide the first guidance. If you notice changes in a mole of this type, it is worth having a professional evaluate it calmly.
