A member asked:
Junctional nevus with cytologic atypia concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Depending on the degree of atypia, most surgeons recommend excision with clear margins to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer (melanoma being the most concerning). Certainly excise if moderate to severe atypia.
