No sense: If the "mole" was shaved off 10 years ago, how could it be "irregular" now? It was sent to pathology and a report on microscopic analysis will be on the DR's desk after 2 or 3 days. Don't ask if you should worry. Get the diagnosis from the Dr. My guess is that the original shaving was done to get rid of an annoying nevus sticking up. Only the surface was removed 10 years ago, leaving a flat brown

I have a small light brown mole on my inner labia RIGHT next to my clitoris (~1/16 inch away). My derm recommended biopsying/removing it - but I am concerned about nerve damage and/or pain. Should I be seeing a gyn/onc doc or other surgeon for this?

Shave biopsy on mole. Derm used dermatoscope & said it was scratched. Biopsy not atypical w/ inflammation. Doc wanted 3 more slides to 2x check. Why?
Derm biopsied possible nodular melanoma via shave instead of excision. Will results be valid? Any chance a tingling raised mole could be benign?
Derm biopsied (shave) concerning "notched" mole- side of breast, below underarm. Was benign. All research strongly discourages method. Should I worry?
Derm said new mole fine 3 mo ago. Seems bigger & darker. Could this be normal? Should I get biopsied even if derm thinks it's still fine? Still <1mm.
Had 2 large flat moles on my back whole life, became anxious and had them shaved and biopsied. Derm said mild atypia and said not to worry. when sores healed (took months) they both look white with a small bit of pigment in the center. Is this okay?
