6 minimal to moderate atypical moles

by Oregon00, Feb 25, 2009 08:41PM
I'm a 31 year old woman with brown eyes and brown hair (though most of my family is quite fair). I have freckles on my face, a couple of "sun spots" (I guess they're called), and not many moles at all...I just got my 5th, and 6th mole diagnosed a minimal-moderate atypia.......All of them except for 2 have been pretty tiny (smaller than the 5mm punch).....I'm wondering if this is something I really have to be worried about..No melanoma in my family that I know of.....I believe two of my aunts had moles removed in their 40s/50s, but didn't hear of them being malignant...so, thinking they were probably atypical as well...I'm pretty paranoid and wondering how common this is in people...doesn't seem too common when you're talking about only 1 in 10 people having them....Anyway, please let me know what you think...I only got biopsy's of the latest 2 (on my scalp)......Removal?????  Thanks for your time! I really appreciate it!
