Hello,
I am confused as to why it took so long for results. I brought my 3 year old daughter to her dermatologist on Aug 19. The Dr cut out the "growth" and told us he was going to send it to biopsy. He called me just a few minutes ago today, Aug 26, one week later with results. He said it was Spitz Nevus and that they would like her to go back to the office so they can remove more tissue down to the fatty cells to make sure that it is all removed. They will do it in the office. First numb the area, then scrape what needs to be cut out, then stitch it up. We will follow up in 10 days to remove the stitches and then once a year to check on the area to make sure it doesn't return. So we do have the same course of treatment as you, just much much quicker. Hope all turns out well.
