I've been self conscious of a small black-dotted mole (sharp tip of a pencil) between my eyebrows. I went to an esthetician for consultation. She recommended electrocautery and that its a minor procedure. She said either there will be no scar or that it will be very minimal. Now I understand that it will not be sent to pathology. I just wanted to know if the procedure will cause bad scarring or anything undesirable. Can anyone give me some sort of advice? Thank you very much.
Always let a Dermatologist evaluate the lesion. Hopefully there will laws enforced. In some states, they are cracking down on this. There is no way anyone other than a dermatologist can evaluate this lesion. Have a dermatologist evaluate the lesion. Then have them remove it. I tiny incision with 1 suture should take care of it with minimal scarring. Absolutely DO NOT let someone removed it with cautery!
he had 4 shave biopsy's of moles, 2 came back mild, 1 moderate and 1 severe. Had severe one removed thursday - diagnois on original biopsy states Junctional melanocytic nevus with architectural disorder and severe cytologic atypism of the melanocytes comments the lesion is close to a lateral inked edge. Now received a call, and no one is in office to answer, but his appt for June 2nd to remove stitches needs to be changed based on biopsy results, what could that mean?
Our most dreaded call: The Atypical Nevus.
There are many theories behind the atypical mole. Are they "pre-cancerous"? We don't really know but the easiest way to explain to patients is that they are.
Atypical Nevi are graded as "mild, moderate, or severe". And there are variations among these depending on which pathologist reads them.
We all have our opinions, but usually we all follow certain guidelines. If moderate or severe, we re-excise. Different derms treat "mild" ATN differently. We either excise, or recommend the patient check it once per month and we follow it clinically. We will then re-excise if pigment returns or grows.
The most important thing to remember is to not get too excited because it is NOT melanoma. So trust that your Dermatologist will make the best recommendation and you can be an active part in any decision.
