32 year old caucasian male with no family history of melanoma, but childhood history of allergy to the sun during summer of 86 and adult history of 2 severe sunburns while mountain hiking. I do burn easily and don't tan quickly, less than 50 moles on my body, brown hair/eyes.
I was diagnosed with moderately atypical nevus on my shoulder that was excised with conservative margins. Now i had one diagnosed on my cheek that came back as moderately atypical with focal severity.

Report further says:
Comment: Initial and multiple levels were examined. The biopsy shows a junctional melanocytic proliferation with marked confluence of atypical melanocytes at the dermo-epidermal junction. While the apparent small size of the lesion would favor a diagnosis of dyplastic nevus, complete removal is recommanded for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This case was reviewed by Dr. Lisa H. Lerner who is in concurrence with above interpretation.
I have a feeling they are not 100% sure. I already had it removed by my dermatologist.
