A member asked:

Go ahead: It's your call, but if your dermatologist thinks it's nasty enough to come off, i'll defer to him/her. It can be hard to tell a very inflamed halo nevus from a malignant melanoma -- it could perhaps be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Whenever she says it's time, off it comes -- and congratulations on being a good observer of your body and a proactive patient.
