Location
Often a nevus can be found on the scalp (in this case, it is penetrated by hair). Education on the skin can be either single or cover the entire body - it depends solely on physiology. A nevus is a disease that can progress slowly over a lifetime. A small skin defect in a child often turns into a big nuisance by adulthood.
