It was originally a light brownish frekle, however, it was larger than the others on my arm.  It grew back the same shape as before, but had a pinkish tint.  Almost like it was slowly reappearing. .  It did have color variances such as light pink in some spots and dark brownish pink in others, but you had to look very close to make out the differences.  And the pinkish tint did not initially concern me because it seemed consistant with the color of dammaged skin ( pink from a scar..etc.)

Thanks Janner and yes, what a lesson this has been.  Hopefully one that will never cause me problems in the future. I will insist on punch biopsies.  I think it best to have the SNB since I have no idea what this lesion has been doing under the scar of the freeze.  Ugh! i can't believe I did not have enough sense to insist on a biopsy in the first place.  Thanks again.

The reason for the original SNB was the clarks level 4 and I was one week postpartum.  My  lymph nodes felt a bit "lumpy" to my derm and she stated with the deep clarks level ( was on upper abdomen where my skin is very thin) she wanted to be as aggressive as possible.  I am sure the "lumpy lymph nodes" was just my milk coming in. but back then I was hormonal and very scared so I did what they told me to do.  Thank you for your reply.  It puts my mind at ease.
