I had a mole on back biopsied. Dr said it was very very slightly atypical, so she wants to recheck in 6 mos. if it grows back, is this a bad sign?

In brief: Not necessarily.
Get your follow-up as scheduled. But if it changes rapidly, call and see if you should go back sooner.

In brief: ATYPICAL MOLE
YOU HAVE A VERY WISE AND CAUTIOUS DOCTOR.
IT IS NOT A BAD SIGN.
THE CHANCES ARE IT IS BENIGN, BUT YOUR DOCTOR WANTS TO BE CERTAIN.
I AM SURE SHE MEASURED IT, MAYBE TOOK A PHOTO.
DONT FRET ABOUT IT.
ALL WILL BE WELL . . .
