do you think i should do it? does it look ugly for most of the people that have moles on their face? or do you think i shouldn’t do it because if you’re born with it just leave it
thx for all the answers they were all good answers

Melanoma runs in my family, both grandfathers had it, and the paternal one passed away from melanoma. I have atypical nevus syndrome and go to my dermatologist every 3 months, with moles removed every visit. Most are only mild or moderate atypical.. I also always wear sunscreen and do what I can to stay safe w/ my moles!

B/w last weeks visit and three months prior I grew a new mole on my stomach, it was biopsied and I was just told that it was very severely atypical. I am going back in a few weeks to have .5 margins removed..

I’ve been doing a lot of research on the net today, and some dermapaths are claiming that severely atypical means melanoma, in other words.
So, my question is, is it beginning stages of melanoma or changing into melanoma?
Thank you!
