text:
A blue nevus is a type of coloured mole, typically a single well-defined blue-black bump. The blue colour is caused by the pigment being deep in the skin. Diagnosis is by visualisation and dermoscopy. A biopsy is sometimes performed, or the whole lesion surgically removed. The outcome is generally good but there is a small chance of cancerous transformation. Differential diagnosis includes dermatofibroma and melanoma. Blue nevi are more common in females than males. It was first studied in 1906
