[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's so hard to wait. Like the other PPs, my derm shaves them off first. I have had two of them that were atypical and then had to be "excised and stitched. I think "atypical" means "good for you for having this removed before anything changed!"[/quote] +1. I think whether "atypical" means pre-cancerous depends on who you ask. Generally, I think there are various level of atypia and that most are mild and moderate, meaning good to get it taken care of. I've had two in this category that were just excised and stitched. I had one that my derm referred to as "severely atypical" and "precancerous" and she did a deep excision of it to make sure it was gone. It felt the same and looked the same post-removal as the others. In other words, it wasn't a big difference for my atypical moles and my precancerous mole.[/quote]
