Atypical mole is what my biopsy came back as (moderate to severe)?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. A moderate to severe atypical mole means that there are a significant amount of abnormal cells in the mole, which requires excision of the entire mole to ensure the mole is gone. If the mole is left alone, then there is a higher chance that the mole can turn into something more such as cancer, which is why your doctor scheduled for you to have it removed. I highly recommend you consult with your treating physician regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
