Final update. Had a WLE on the biopsy plus the newly emerged pigment. My path results were no residual dysplastic nevus cells found – all clear.I can only assume that the new pigment was just that and not a proliferation of the original dysplastic mole.
I have 4 stitches and a decent scar (I’d say the derm was VERY conservative with his margins) but am happy and feel blessed with a new and stronger awareness about my skin moving forward.
Thanks to Janner and Deb for your advice and responses. Best wishes to everyone here 🙂

Many thanks Janner. My concern was how quickly this has happened and because it was technically in a different spot although very close to the biopsy site. I guess biopsy on excision will tell me all we beed to know?Really appreciate your feedback.

Hi Deb – from the further tests I just received a txt msg confirming dysplastic nevus with mild to moderate dysplasia. Txt also said no urgency to remove and it was only when I reported the pigment regrowth that they moved my apt up from Feb to next week.Is it most likely then that the excision biopsy will be the same? Have you heard of pigment regrowth occurring so quickly before and next to (not within) the site?
Many thanks

Hi Janner/all – advice needed am more worried than before.In my first post I mentioned that I was going to get a 2nd opinion from a derm as I found the initial pathology report for my dysplastic nevus to be a little vague.
Well that derm called me xmas eve (great timing) to say that the team of specialists on review felt that the mole was mild / mild to moderate (I had spoken to the first pathologist myself who said it was mild).
My original path report apparently didnt mention any cellular atypia which they found on review.
He also said that they were going to run some new slides as ‘sometimes when we look deeper we find some worrying things’. Added that if it was on his arm he would want it cut out.
I am now obviously a bit concerned as to why they would a) upgrade and level of atypia and b) think they needed to run further tests. The clinic where I had the punch biopsy done said no further excision is required.
I tend to suffer from health anxiety so I realise I’m probably blowing this out of proportion but looking for any advice here.
Many thanks
