Depends upon type...: Whether you should be worried about a mole depends upon report given to you by doc who performed excision. When reading the report make sure that the lesion was removed in its entirety. If some portion of the mole is at the margin of the excision, then you'll need to chat w/doc about repeat excision. Some moles may need radiation therapy. Consider discussing findings w/dermatologist, too.
