Mole Came Back (But Smaller) After Benign Biopsy?

August 2, 2012
Asked By:Roger Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia

I had a mole removed last year and biopsied...it came back completely normal (not even atypical). Should I be concerned now that the mole has recurred? It's smaller than the original mole and at the same site...it is otherwise identical.
