      I have a random question.  What does it mean when mole that was removed has color return? In my head im convinced it's the worst thing in the world.  Does it mean melanoma?  Thanks for your insight!

          Did you have a shave biopsy?  It is possible not all cells were removed and the mole is re growing.  Show it to your derm.  If it wasn't melanoma before, it's not likely it is now, but pigment regrowth should be shown to your derm.

              Yes- it was a shave biopsy.  It came back as (I believe) mildly atypical.  I have an appointment- I will show her.  Thanks for your  help!

                      That has happened a few times with me and they just re-excised and was still just the same kind of nevus as initially excised.  They just didn't go deep enough the first time, especially with congenital nevi.
