After biopsy, darker spot in scar. results very mildly atypical. dr said if benign not to worry. appt in 6 mos follow up. should i go sooner?

Follow up: That is a reasonable time frame for follow up. But if you notice worrisome changes sooner that don't seem like normal healing don't hesitate to call for an earlier appointment.
