I had a mole between my toes shave biopsies 4 months ago and it has grown back...it came back benign, should i be concerned its growing back?

Yes: Doing shave biopsy on a mole is a bad idea. The lesion should be removed in its entirety and the tissue submitted to a pathologist for examination. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
