A member asked:
Derma says post biopsy that dysplastic nevus has no remaining pigment, but i see a small black/brown dot in site of nevus. should i be concerned?

Make sure that: biopsy was read by a dermatopathologist (someone who specializes in reading skin slides). IF not get second opinion on biopsy. Sometimes path can be clear and nevus regenerates.Hope that helps
