Mole grew back after shave biopsy, is this normal? Do I need a second evaluation/biopsy? (Photo)

VereyaV
I had a shave biopsy a couple months ago, and the mole grew back. I am concerned as it looks strange. The biopsy results were benign compound melanocytic nevus. Do I need a second evaluation/biopsy? Please help since I can't afford an appointment right now
