        Thank you for the replies and sharing your stories.  I know my melanoma comes from poor choices made as a teenager using a tanning bed and my previous sun exposure.  I'm lucky to have caught mine early but I'm also anxious over what has yet to be found. I'm covered in moles and sunspots and I just  I don't like the "keep an eye on that" saying. Is it normal to have so many diagnosed within one year?  My derm does not do mole mapping and her words to me after the last 5 biopsies were " nothing is screaming melanoma" and 2 came back stage 1.
