Getting Personal #215: Visiting the Dermatologist – Update!

I have a happy update to report!

Thanks to Caz for checking on me, multiple times!

My recent mole biopsy was not cancerous. It was labeled as an “atypical mole.” This is on the low end of the spectrum for pathology and dermatology. I do not have to come back for another exam in 2020 unless the area becomes pigmented. If that happens, then they will need to get what are called clear margins, which can be significant. This is what happened at least once with a mole on my back.

I’m so grateful to the staff at my dermatology practice!

Thanks to everyone for reading my earlier post, commenting on it, and offering support. This is one of the many reasons why I adore the WordPress community.

Stay safe!


Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂
