        Does it matter if the atypical moles are mild, moderate or severe?

              Carrie.

              I have had five atyplical moles.

              I am concerned about atypical mole syndrome.  I know genetic testing is required.   Does five atypical moles ring alarm for atypical mole syndrome?

                    Also, is there a blood test that can be taken to determine if one has cancer?

                          Hello Janner.

                          THank you for responding to my question.

                          I am still very concerned.

                          I am receiving contridicting feedback about the dysplastic nevi.

                          I have gone to two dermatologist.  One seems slightly concerned and says she has worked with people with over 100.

                          I have another dermatologist that tells me this is very concerning and not good.   He also said melanoma can start internally and there is no way to know.  This terrified me.  I asked him if there was any testing for this and he said usually it is too late when people learn about this.   So, I think I will go to another doctor.

                          I feel like I am currently getting some new moles, maybe two small ones, I feel like the dysplastic ones were new.  Can my skin be dynamic right now and calm down shortly?

                          Do you know anyone with five dysplastic that did not develop melanoma?  I have read on the board many people started with dysplastic prior to melanoma.

                          Should I worry about FAMM?

                          Thank you for your time.

                          I read you bio and you are a truly amazing, strong, inspiring person.
