Hello! I found this topic when searching for my 'diagnosis' from a pathology done on a mole located on my neck.

The pathology came back as severely displastic. I will be honest, when the dermatologist took the tissue sample, she took it all off and there is nothing there now. They 'referred' me to another dermatologist office to have this removed as they are telling me IT WILL turn into a melanoma and MUST be dealt with. However, from all of the research I am finding online, this is not necessarily the case? I only have one of these. The dermatology office keeps calling me and bothering me saying they MUST close out this case and either consent for treatment or deny treatment….?

I feel at a loss because of what I'm reading to educate myself vs what they are saying, vs being able to AFFORD a 2nd opinion is a problem for me. I do not have insurance and paid for a full body scan out of pocket for something else I thought may be a problem + path/lab.

I would love any feedback that can be given and would be happy to provide more information if it is necessary for any feedback. I'm age 42 y/o female, caucasian, medium to fair skin living in the South US region. 

Thank you in advance!
