I’m waiting for results of a mole biopsy done by my PC doctor. We thought it best in the mean time if I got checked by a dermatologist just to look at a couple other areas of concern. I’ve never had my skin checked so this was a first. This dermatologist has great credentials and has even won awards, so I figured I was in great hands. I just had the appointment today. She seemed like she was in a hurry and rushed through the whole thing. She didn’t check my scalp or the back of my neck (didn’t even move my hair out of the way.) She said everything looked fine, aside from what reamins of my funky mole, and left. I’m a little frustrated. If my biopsy comes back normal, should I maybe get another skin check by another doctor, or should I trust her and let it go?

  Anon – you should do what you feel comfortable with. And if you're not happy with this derm, next time tell him or her what you want. And if they don't listen, get a new derm.
  
  I don't rely only on my derm to catch funk. She checks the places I can't see very well (like my back) but for the most part I've caught all of the various pieces of funk that have grown. I'd rather be the expert in my skin and my derm helps me in this as a part of "team Julie"..
  
  Hope this helps,

    Been there, and see no evidence that awards in dermatology indicate a conscientious dermatologist.
    
    You shouldn't have to explain to a dermatologist how to provide to an acceptable standard of care. I wouldn't give her a second chance.
