Is very small congenital nevi of concern? 14 yr old son has one that's grown to 5mm. not evaluated as congenital, but generally appears ok to derms.

Any skin lesion: That small (less than 1 cm diameter) , not growing, symmetrical, regular border are features suggesting benign character and ur dermatologist's words are reassuring. Take care! http://www.M.Webmd.Com/melanoma-skin-cancer/abcds-of-melanoma-skin-cancer.
