Read your post...hope all went well
Hi Doctor Kaur!
Thank you for responding to the question I had about the tool used to examine my mole. Unfortunately, the biopsy confirmed melanoma. I'm meeting with a surgeon and oncologist this week to schedule surgery to remove the area and do a lymph node biopsy.
While I cannot control what's happening in my body, I can control my attitude towards the situation. PMA. Positive mental attitude is the goal! I'll keep you updated!
Thanks again,

Hello,
The instrument that your dermatologist used was a dermatoscope. It is one of the best instruments used to diagnose suspicious moles and melanoma.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
