Requires close : observation and reevaluation. I think that 3 months is a logical interval.

See doc sooner : see doc sooner to ask particular questions regarding your surg site. seems to be a depressed scar, which can occur in this type of surgery, but you need to ask about the chances of it healing like that or improving with time...and your options.

Shave biopsy bad : Shave biopsy of a mole is a bad idea. Consulting a dermatologist is warranted.
