      Original biopsy

      this was taken 3 months after a full body check by a dermatologist, I pointed this red spot out, he said it was nothing, started to bleed 3 months later after removing my shirt

      Skin, neck, surgical excision:
      Melanocytic proliferation with overlying ulceration, see comment.

      Surgical Final Comment

      The ulceration makes further characterization of the nevus (compound or intradermal) impossible. Although no atypia is present within the sampled nevus, the proliferation does extend to the deep margin of excision. If this excision is part of a larger lesion or if the lesion recurs, re-excision may be considered if clinically relevant.

      Second biopsy same spot

      Skin, neck, wider surgical excision:
      Skin with no significant pathologic abnormality.

      The patient's previous pathology is noted and no residual nevus is identified.

              My PCP is through John Hopkins, he said the report is benign, I have had a lot of moles before but one never like this, he acts like I'm a hypochondriac, but I just had a weird feeling about this mole.
