This subsection is deliberately short, referring the reader to another subsection for a more complete explanation, for continuity and comparison. To learn about both good and bad moles in depth, see Atypical Mole = Dysplastic Nevus. An overview of moles and their important relationships with the lethal tumor melanoma are presented there. An introduction and in-depth discussion of good/benign moles (common nevi) as well as most of the other classifications of moles (nevi) follows because many types of nevi (moles) exist in a spectrum (groups that almost blend together in certain areas) and are best described in a manner that relates one type of mole to the next with a comparison, information on benign common moles has been moved from this Web-site subsection into Atypical Mole.
