      Hello All,

      Specimen A-The presence of inflammation raises the
      possibility of halo/regression phenomenon. Melanocytic
      proliferation extends to one tip of the specimen. Complete
      re-excision is strongly recommended, due to the presence of
      halo/regression phenomenon which may have attenuated the
      atypia.

          If your doctor recommends a follow up schedule for skin checks, do it. That, and skin protection, is pretty much how we all live. I am fair and have lots of moles. I’ve had lots of removals. Lots of weird ones. Until finally, a bad one. Hopefully you will never face that situation.
