Skin mole

Right!

Skin nevus is derived from melanocytes in the superficial basal layer. It is a benign proliferative lesion, but some of it may be malignant into melanoma.

According to the different locations in the skin tissue, it can be divided into junctional nevus (that is, mole cells grow at the junction of the epidermis and dermis to form multiple cell nests. This type of mole is more prone to become melanoma). Intradermal nevus (It is the most common one, and the nevus cells are arranged in a nest or a cord in the dermis) and mixed nevus (that is, there are changes in the junctional and intradermal nevus).
