Only intradermal nevus is characterized by a small (less than 1 cm) lesion with regular edges and bristlelike hairs with a color change that can range from skin tones to light brown. A junctional nevus is flat, dark, and up to 2 cm in size. A compound nevus is elevated and smooth. Heaped up keratinized cells describe a scale.
