On Christmas Eve I noticed a dark spot on a mole that I've had since my teen years (52 now). It is located directly between my breasts in an area that is extremely bony. (images attached, one is closeup–I am now horrified that the discoloration is larger than I was able to see when the photo was just saved on my phone. Glasses, soon!) I am having it removed at my primary physician's office tomorrow and the nurse mentioned doing a shave biopsy, rather than a punch, when I told her the location.
I just had a punch biopsy done on a the lower leg for a brand new dark spot that appeared (was atypical nevus with dysplasion–clear margins on the biopsy) and it seemed deeper than it would be possible to go on my chest without hitting bone.
Has anyone had a punch biopsy over a bony area (chest, shoulder blade, elbow, kneecap, shin, etc.)?
