Hi,
I had 3 biopsies done, including one on my back, which was a 7mm mole. It was asymetrical and was brown with a black dot. I also come from a family with a history of Malignant melanoma (father &paternal grandmother both passed away from it). But I got my pathology results back& that mole was perfectly fine! So don't worry, I know that's easier said than done because trust me, I was concerned!

I did have to have follow-up excision biopsies on the two other sites. I had the first this morning& second one will be performed next week.

Good luck& best wishes!!
