Blue nevus (also known as blue neuronevus, dermal melanocytoma, and nevus bleu) is a type of melanocytic nevus. The blue colour is caused by the pigment being deeper in the skin than in ordinary nevi. In principle they are harmless but they can sometimes be mimicked by malignant lesions, i.e. some melanomas can look like a blue nevus.
A mole (nevus) is a benign growth of melanocytes, cells that gives skin its color. Although very few moles become cancer, abnormal or atypical moles can develop into melanoma over time. Normal moles can appear flat or raised or may begin flat and become raised over time. The surface is typically smooth.
