Meaning of "naevi" in English

"Naevi" is the plural form of "naevus," which refers to a benign growth on the skin, commonly known as a mole. These growths are usually pigmented and can vary in color from brown to black. Naevi are typically present at birth or develop during childhood or adolescence. Most naevi are harmless, but some can develop into skin cancers, such as melanoma, over time. It's common to monitor any changes in size, shape, or color of naevi for potential health risks.
