Should moderate atypical moles be excised after shave biopsy?

June 9, 2025
Asked By:koalabear223 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

I have a mole removed via shave biopsy and the results came back "moderate atypical mole, examined margins negative". The dermatologist office leaves it up to the patient if they want to go back and get more taken out if the results and mild or moderate. What should I do based on the diagnosis?
