Halo Nevus - Definition, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Definition

A halo nevus is a mole that is pink or brown surrounded by round, symmetric depigmented area, or a halo.The halo is depigmented which means it has lost the normal skin pigment or color. The halo itself has sharply demarcated borders.Melanocytes or cells that make melanin are completely absent from the halo area. Halo nevi develop spontaneously on the trunk, but may be present on the palms and soles.

The mole portion tends to flatten and may disappear completely. The white area may stay if the mole disappears or the affected areas may return to normal skin color. Halo nevi are not dangerous or contagious, but they are sometimes a sign that is not good for the skin. A person can have just one halo nevus or several halo nevi.
