"moderate to severe cytologic atypia". What does that mean? What should I do? I am worried. Would I develop melanoma?

Asked By:2004mom in Dayton, OH

I had a mole removed and the report came back saying the mole was "moderate to severe cytologic atypia". This mole appeared in the last teo years after i did ivf for 3 times. My body is full of moles and some come and some i was born with. I do not tan and i am very modest in my clothes under the sun. I barely sit in the sun but i dont use sunblocks.
