      About a month ago I had a moly removed and it came back Abnormal.  I went in last week to get a larger piece removed and when I sent back to get my stitches out they said it still came back abnormal and to just watch it.  Has anyone had this happen?  What happened?  I have a TON of moles and I am going to get a full body check, but I am concerned!

          Hi! Is it atypical mole ? Severely atypical mole?

          So after WLE it was steel mole found in piece of the skin?

          I think it depends how atypical it is.

          Mine was severely atypical ,so very close to melanoma and Docs treat it AS melanoma.

          Have a full body check.

          I think I would  go for wider excision ,untill margins will be clear.
