A member asked:
I had a shave removal that came back as "lentiginous junctional (dysplastic) nevus with mild atypia, to <0.2 mm of. is this of concern?

No: If it is not a melanoma, it is of less concern. Being dysplastic, is a pathologic concerning point, but with it's small size, I would closely watch it. "Mild atypia" is the key to the answer. That is why shave removal's never really remove these, just the top layer. If any increase in size, remove immediately.
