Cancer cells: Talk to the doctor who examined you for a better understanding of what they meant by "cancerous cells"and the follow up they recommended. . This may or may not be related to any skin related lesion you have.

Derm Visit Good Idea: A dermatologist is the best choice to first evaluate a mole for cancer. In general, the dermatologist will do a biopsy if there is concern for cancer. Then the pathologist will review biopsy slides of the mole to check for cancer. If the other cancerous cells were found on a pap smear, the mole will most likely not be related.
