OK to watch: If the moles have not changed, i agree to watch them. If you suspect that a mole is changing in size, color, shape, etc let your dermatologist know. It is very important to follow up with your dermatologist for routine skin exam to monitor for any changes in your moles. If any mole looks suspicious, it can be biopsied by the dermatologist.

Yes, it is ok: The mole has been checked out appropriately, and by the nature of the question, you are still questioning the diagnosis. If you are uneasy, have one of the dermatologist remove it.
