Physical Examination and Diagnosis
The only way to diagnose dysplastic nevus is to remove tissue and check it for dysplasia. The doctor will remove all or part of the skin that looks abnormal. Usually, this procedure takes only a few minutes and can be done in a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital. The sample will be sent to a lab and a pathologist will look at the tissue under a microscope to check for melanoma.
