AB A  young  woman  comes  to  the  office  because  her  husband  has  noted  that  the  moles  on  her  back  are  changing  (Figure  162-1).  A  few  have  white  halos  around  the  brown  pigmentation  and  some  have  lost  their  pigment  completely,  with  a  light  area  remaining.  She  has  no  symptoms  but  wants  to  make  sure  these  are  not  skin  cancers.  Halo  nevi  are  an  uncommon  variation  of  common  nevi.  These  appear  benign  and  the  patient  is  reassured.
