Background: There exist several specific types of melanocytic naevi. Their diagnoses, future prognoses, and management plans all differ.
Case Reports: We demonstrated dermoscopic images of growing naevi, targetoid haemosiderotic naevi, and halo naevi.
Conclusion: Growing naevi should be monitored for their growth and evolution. For children, the increases in size of the naevi will be affected by growths of the children and the further autonomous growths of the naevi. For targetoid haemosiderotic naevi with compatible histories of trauma or signs of trauma, re-examination in three to four weeks will confirm stabilisation of the naevi. For halo naevi, any naevus or other structure in the centre should be clearly visualised and diagnosed.
