        I had a very tiny pale pink, perfectly shaped circle punch biopsied in late 2012. Pathology came back as a Nevis (mole) WITHOUT any cancer cells.. My doctor recommended it be removed as "you have all the moles you will have by the time you are 30". Pathology came back that is was a non pigmented melanoma Insitu. A wide excision was performed. 

        Fast forward 3 years and I found another one that looked exactly like the first, close to the scar. I couldn't get in to see my specialist so had my GP look at it. He said it was nothing to be concerned about.

        i just had spec look at it 7 months later and it's definitely a new mole. Removal scheduled for next week.

        Most likely nothing, but IF you are worried. Insist on seeing a specialist. Hence their name!
