If the doctor knows 100% that there is NO chance of you having cancer in those
moles, then it is your call. If it were me personally, I would just watch the
moles closely. On the other hand, he MUST have a reason why he wants the moles
removed. Did you ask him why? If you didn't you should. If there is the
slightest possibility that there could be cancer, I would get them off asap. I
wish you the best in whatever decision you make.
Your friend, Angela

Hello, I have a question. I go to a dermatologist on base and they
are famous for carving people up for no reason. Earlier this year I
had seven moles scraped for biopsies. The doctor said that three of
them came back a little odd and he would like to remove them. He
stated that there is no cancer, but he would like to remove them.
Since there is no other dr. to give a second opinion that goes
against him, I would like to ask if anyone no anything. The test
restults read:Dysplastic compound nevus with mild melancytic atypia,
same one again, and Dyspastic Junctional Nevus with mild melanocytic
atypia. I know your not doctors, but I would appreciate the imput.
Is this something that I can wait four months till we get to Germany
or do I need to take care of it now? The skin from where they
scraped it hurt for a month, I can just see how long it takes to heal
from cutting a football shape out. Thanks for any info.
Chris
