If a pigmented nevus occurs in friction areas, such as palms, soles of feet, waist, armpits, perineum, neck and other friction-prone areas, it is prone to malignant transformation, so consider surgical excision plus biopsy as much as possible, once a pigmented nevus becomes malignant, it becomes melanoma. Melanoma is a kind of tumor with very high malignant degree, easily metastasized and very difficult to be completely cured.
