        My Dr. shaved my mole that was raised because he thought it looked fine. He didn't think it looked abnormal and gave me some pictures of irregular moles.  But,  just to make me feel better he did a biopsy.  He called be back in a few days that I had melanomia.  Maybe your Dr. just didn't think it was that bad.
