        I am 46 years old Janner. My first biopsy was done by a pathologist, which type of expert should I see about my second opinion? Does this type of nevus get misdiagnosed alot? I just had the re-excision done 5 days ago and am waiting on those biopsy results, to see if they got it all. Should I wait for the second biopsy results before I seek a second opinion on my first biopsy? I mean if the second biopsy comes back that they have a clean margin, should I still get a second opinion then?
