Another from A

Picture
Here is another  one , Young guy with many moles , first time Ive seen him


Another good example.
Pattern first  - this is a reticular pattern 
Colour  next- one colour ( the brown pigment varies in density only) 
When scanning the skin , ONE pattern and ONE colour means it is benign and you move on to the next lesion.
There are other features that make it benign  - symmetrical / uniform pattern around the periphery / central hyperpigmentation
Now after all the description we can add a label  - Clarks Nevus.  
Remember that brown pigment is in the epidermis in Keratinocytes predominantly - they collect it from Melanocytes.
