              You should have this checked. None of us will know for sure. Skin cancer has some many different faces, you can never be sure without a pathology report.

                          Thank you. I've had over 50 biopsies since November of 2012. I've had 4 melanomas and two basal and squamous cell diagnosis. I've had 5 biopsies come back benign. All others were atypical or pre cancerous. I recently had 10 biopsies, I go back on the 31st for 2 excursions and 6 cryo treatments. I feel like I'm on a constant circle. Skin check, schedule biopsies, edit 4 to 6 weeks for the appointment, have biopsies, wait 2 weeks for results, get results, schedule excursions and cryo and by now we're past time for my 3 month skin check and we do it all over again. It's been this way for almost 3 years! There has to be s better way. 

                          I really do need to see a Doctor that can at least do Mohs surgeries. 

                          My dermatologist told me that if she took every suspicious spot off of my body, I would be miserable. Every time I turn around there is a new suspicious spot.

                          Any recommendations appreciated.
