      Hi All-

      I’ve had 2 thin primaries over the last ten years that were from existing moles.

      I recently discovered a tiny (like a pen tip tiny) new mole on the top of my foot and knew to have it looked at ASAP. My derm used his dermotoscope, but said it was too new and did not have enough of the defining structures to tell if it was a problem. Has anyone heard of this before? From my seeing to having it removed was less than 7 weeks.

      Would love your thoughts.
