Dysplastic Compound Nevus

I'm just wondering if someone is able to translate the following for me. I know it's not a big deal, but I'd like to keep on top of it.  The results from a recent mole biopsy are as follows: "This skin shows a slightly asymmetrical compound nevus with shoulder region.  Atypical junctional nervus cell nests are seen with rete hyperplasia.  There is papillary dermal fibroplasia.  The lesion appears closely excised and there is no evidence of an invasive melanoma." So while it's obvious that melanoma isn't the issue, and i've had a few dysplastic moles removed in the past, what on earth does the report mean? LOL. Thanks :)

thanks. the specialist is referring me to a surgeon so i want to have an idea of what's going on before i agree for them to start cutting. haha.

hyperplasia is just simply an inflammation or a slight is proportion of the skin... but fibroplasia mean the tissue is growing or increasing in size... its not melanoma... its just a normal mole...

nothing to worry about...

just watch out for its re appearance... there is a little chance it will re appear again..
