Question Unlike Greg who asked about the pathology found:compound melanocytic nevus, I have a history of Clark level 2 melanoma with negative sentinel lymph node. Now, recent results from 6 biopsies from my back have 2 with compound melan. nevus and 1 with atypical cells. Do I really need to have further excising of these lesions when I could potentially have 50 more with all the flat nevi that I have. Is further excision necessary? thank you for your help in advance
Answer hello Carrie:
There is no need to have more lesions excised. However do keep a visual track of them If you notice any increase in size, irregularity of shape, change in color, pain etc in the lesion consult your dermatologist.
