A member asked:
Could having a mole removed cosmetically by laser cause that mole to show dysplasia if it came back later on as often moles removed via laser return?

Excision/nevus: I have NEVER heard of a laser ablation/excision of a mole causing the pathologic diagnosis of dysplasia. You need to see the surgeon for a better explanation...
