For me this is a compound nevus quite symmetrical and superficial without overt worrysome features. There is a marked lymphocytic inflammation associated (halo-like phenomenon) that could be the reason of clinical concern. If clinically a halo was present then the correct diagnosis should be halo nevus (Sutton nevus)

Yes, benign naevus with a predominant junctional component. There is some variation in size of nests, but all located at tips of rete ridges. Agree with halo phenomenon. The dense lymphocytic infiltrate would also explain the mild degree of cytological atypia noted in melanocytes.

Halo nevus or better to be called nevus with halo phenomenon/reaction.

Banal naevus with a slightly active junctional component, and with a halo reaction.
