      BTW I am 3 months in, have had 4 excisional surgeries and 11 biopsies so far of which 5 were moderate to insitu. I have seen 3 dermatoligists, all of which look around at me and say, "everything is normal looking." But thankfully I convinced the last one to biopsy anyway just for my peace of mind and they just keep coming back with excision reccomendations one after the other even after the derma said oh it looks fine… If the dermatoligist is not on my side who is?
