    Naevi are moles that can be classified by their location within the skin as intradermal, junctional, or compound. Intradermal naevi are elevated and may be non-pigmented, junctional naevi are flat and pigmented, and compound naevi have both intradermal and junctional components. Most naevi appear in the first two decades, are sharply demarcated, and have low or no malignant potential.
