Why would my dermatologist refer me to an orthodontist because of a splinter hemorrhage?

Orthodontist?: Are you sure he/she didn’t refer you to a hematologist? Call your Dermatologist to make sure exactly the referral path.

Splinter hemorrhage: I would guess he looked in your mouth and saw bad teeth gums. Splinter hemorrhages can be a sign of infectious endocarditis which may come from dirty teeth bad gums. But you need to ask him.

I had a scalp biopsy. The dermatologist tended to refer to it as a "funny-looking" freckle, but when I pushed the issue, the dermatologist could not rule out melanoma? If it is melanoma, what symptoms might I have now? How is this typically treated?
