Hi
Thanks for your query.
Based on your query and histopathology report, am of the following opinion.
1. Compound nevus is a benign lesion of melanocytes which appears on skin as pigmented flat or raised lesion.
2. This lesion is harmless.
3. There is no need to worry except for cosmetic concern.
Hope this helps.
