I understand brittany. It is indeed unfortunate.
The thing is I live in a place called Romania(far far away… in space and time).
I have a lot of dysplastic nervi few 'normal' moles. Now (2014) I know that having so many dysplastic nervi… it's bad.
Education (in this domain) reached me too late. I'm sorry, but that's that. We will see what the future holds! (hopefully it's full of Win!)
Have a great day!

I do regular checks every 5-6 months.
My main concern is:
– can the dermatologist spot malenoma? I don't want to find out too late "oh, well… you had it for 10 years and you said it did not change… and we did not know it was malenoma. now it has spread to x y z. sorry".
Also thank you everyone for the input!

Thank you for the reply Janner.
A few further questions, for you or anyone who has time and knowledge to answer:
1). why should I not try to eliminate them one by one? Is there any danger in the procedure? I mean should one not try to eliminate the chance to find one that has changed?
2). if I do regular check-ups every 6 months, and there will be a time when my dermatologist will say: we have to get this one out. After the procedure there is no guarantee that the disease has not spread, correct? There is no time frame for melanoma evolution (say we did not see anything wrong 6 months ago, but now after the biopsy we found out that it's stage xxx and so on)
3). Except being carefull about the sun (I try to get 5-10 mins of sun daily – T-shirt & no sun block), alimentation (healty food / no chips) & weekly / monthly self – inspections, Is there anything else I can do to minimise the chance that malenoma(or other types of skin cancer) defeats my imune system? Or any other types of medical inspections I should look into, since the Dermatoscope is not a diagonose tool?
4). Where / what should I read in order to be able to sleep/work again, because after I started reading this forum my brain has gone berserk and I can't leave this damn nightmare thoughts loop.
Thank you!
