unusual moles that may resemble melanoma but aren't cancerous

Dysplastic nevi, also known as atypical moles, are unusual-looking benign moles that may resemble melanoma but are not cancerous. They often have irregular borders, varied colors, and are larger than common moles. While they themselves are not harmful, having multiple dysplastic nevi can increase the risk of developing melanoma, so regular monitoring by a dermatologist is recommended.
