Thank you for your reply. I've only had shave biopsies done, so I'm almost not surprised to have pigment regrowth as I've heard that is common because the mole isn't always fully removed that way…in fact, only one of my biopsies was fully removed with clear margins with a shave and it turned out to be a normal common mole. I also have one or two biopsies that came back as common moles that have a little pigment regrowth too. A dermatologist I saw when in college when I was young and ignorant about all of this did a biopsy on a mole just in case when I was in for another issue, and months later when I was in for another visit had noticed there was pigment regrowth and when I asked him about it he took a look at it and said "sometimes that happens, usually nothing to worry about." So I've had two different dermatologists tell me pigment regrowth can be ok and when I should worry about it, but once I started looking online and on these forums it seems the concensus is to have it removed again…all the confusion!
