    Just had a check by dermatologist. I had a precancerous lesion on my nose and arm frozen. I was so relieved there weren't more. I had a mole I was worried about, but it was fine. Thank you for educating us.

    How about if an existing mole suddenly gets dry, scaly, and sometimes peels? No pain, bleeding, or itching and it's actually getting smaller.

    I had a raised, skin colored mole on my right forearm that has been there for as long as I can remember. Recently, I had a very very dark brown (almost black) spot that formed on that skin colored mole and had it biopsied. Results came back that it was a clonal nevus. Since the skin has healed and built back from the biopsy, another very very dark spot has formed fairly rapidly and is very very splotchy and irregular. Should I have this biopsied again or should I not worry about it since that has already been checked? Thanks so much!

      Since he didn’t reply to u I would definitely say get it checked usually normal moles aren’t supposed to grow fast! Better be safe than sorry 😊

      @@oliviamunson426 I had it checked out on Monday and the doctor essentially acted like I was being a hypochondriac. Bad experience with that doctor lol. She did say not to worry about it so I guess I’ll take her advice.
      I appreciate your reply! Hope you have a wonderful evening
