A member asked:

Moles were removed via cosmetic laser. some came back and were excised. pathology showed dysplasia. can laser cause false appearance of dysplasia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysplastic nevi: Lasers cannot cause dysplasia. Dysplasia is precancerous and should be addressed by complete removal with clear margins. Not all but some of the dysplastic nevi will eventually turn into melanoma.
