How to tell the difference between a mole and a dysplastic nevus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy is only: way to tell for sure. A qualified dermatologist can usually tell the difference between a benign or suspicious lesion in the majority of cases, so you should see one if your mole has changed appearance or increased in size.
