        Thank you, Kim! Very helpful post.

        It was a dermapathologist who read the report, and the report said that two doctors in the Derm office "concurred" with the reading of the report. So I guess that's all good.

        I live in Florida. This is the first time I've been to this dermatologist, I have been to others in the past for annual check ups and other mole removals (all have been normal prior to now). I feel good about this Derm office. I also wonder if dermatologists in Florida see so much skin cancer that they are really knowledgeable. I hope so!

        I do have other moles, but they all look alike (this last one looked very different). My current moles are all round and light tan/pink and kind of raised. Maybe five of them. They (and the offending bad mole) are all on a part of my leg where there is no pigment — I was born without pigment on that part of my body.

        I try to be vigilant but the sun is so strong here. I'm in the process of rethinking what I wear and sunscreen habits!
