I don't know a good dermatologist in Ohau but I would definitely get rid of watch and wait. If that would have been the case with me I would have had full blow melanoma rather that having my dr. who caught it early. She does 2-3 biopsy's every 3 months and sure enough they were all Clarks or the beginnings of melanoma even though they didn't even look suspicious. Even my melanoma's didn't look suspicious. She has told me I need to be checked consistantly every 3 months for the rest of my life. I am 55 and was diagnosed last year. I would much rather be safe and have biopsies than sorry. Then the doc just goes oops missed that.  I have dealt with undiagnosed lyme disease for 12 yrs. I certainly don't want to miss a melanoma. Find a different doc.
