Halo nevus: How to remove?

Hi
I have alot of nevus, so on some of them i have like white rings around them (halo nevus). I went to a dermatologist to see if I get the Vitiligo (He tested my thyroid), so the results are negativ. My question is, can I remove the nevus with the white rings, I have about 6 of them, and they are very desturbing. For some reason, everytime I cut one of my normal nevus out, I get a white ring around an other nevus.

Hello,
Halo nevus are benign lesions and hence nothing is to be done for them . they should be left as such. However sunscreen should be applied to all the skin during summer to prevent sunburn. The white skin of a halo naevus will burn particularly easily in the sun.
