What is a nevus also known as?

  1. Freckle

  2. Birthmark or congenital mole

  3. Rash

  4. Sunspot

The correct answer is: Birthmark or congenital mole

A nevus is another term for a birthmark or congenital mole. While it may look similar to a freckle, it is not the same thing. A rash is also not the correct term, as a nevus is more permanent and differs in appearance. A sunspot, also known as a solar lentigo, is a common term for a dark spot on the skin caused by sun exposure, but it is not the same thing as a nevus.
