The reassuring part is that your biopsy showed a benign compound nevus. That said, recurrent nevi can sometimes be hard to distinguish from melanoma on the surface, even for physicians. For that reason, it’s always best to have any changing or unusual-appearing lesion checked again by a board-certified dermatologist.

Context Explanation

From your single photo it does appear that you have a fairly typical nevus/mole of your eyebrow. Please have it examined in person by a surgeon with extensive experience in treating and removing facial moles and growths. After removal your surgeon should send the mole to a pathologist to have it examined for a precise diagnosis, though I expect it will be a benign growth. Removal of facial ...

Insight Material

Moles and melanoma appear to be on a continuum under the microscope, from the most benign garden-variety moles to dysplastic nevi with mild atypia, moderate atypia, severe atypia and then melanoma. The concept of dysplastic nevus is controversial. The is called a recurrent nevus (a mole that came back after removal).

However, dermatopathologists now consider dysplastic nevi to ...

A dysplastic mole means that there is a significant number of abnormal appearing cells in the skin biopsy. A melanoma-in-situ means that there are actually cancerous melanoma cells in the lesion, but the melanoma cells themselves have not invaded the surrounding skin borders yet.
