Itchy Irregular Black Small Mole on my Back? (photo)

iasc24
I had a simlar one removed from my upper arm @ the end of the summer.It came back with mild dysplasia. I told the dermatologist I was worried about one on my abdomen,he said it looked fine to him but would remove it if I wanted. It was shave biopsied & came back mild dysplasia also. He checked upper body only (waist up).Both were further excised & sutured. He looked @ the back & said it was ok but now it's itchy. I'm not sure if I should go back, I really dont want chunks taken out of me unnecessarily.
