A member asked:
Moderate atypia mole removed. my dermatologist said no worries as worry only about high dysplasia moles in which we take more tissue to be cautious???

Correct: Not all atypical moles progress to malignant melanoma (form of aggressive skin cancer). Those with high grade dysplasia are more likely to progress and should be removed with adequate benign tissue resection margins
