A member asked:
Melanocytic nevus with arch disorder and mild cytologic atypia of melancytes found from mole shave biopsy. what is the treatment for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Removal of nevus: Excision of mole is preferred method , it gives complete picture , not missing any area of potential malignant cells . Good news you don't have , but have atypical cells , so speak to your doctor for possible excision of whole mole and analyzing ( biopsy ) it.
