Staining violet crystal

Hi All

im a 44 year old guy, I had an excision on my neck behind my left ear 5 weeks 3 days ago, the mole was originally smaller than a grain of rice but I noticed one day it had grown to size of 7mm misshapen 2 coloured and flat. I sent picture to my doctor and he recommended he would contact dermatologist, 10 days later I was having excision.

I called my surgeon secretary today for update and was informed my sample is having further stain tests. Is this anything to be concerned about, I was coping ok until I heard this news now I'm panicking a bit, anybody else had this experience, as other people gone or going through this would be a massive help. 

Thankyou,

Nathan.

  • All tests that go under a microscope are stained with different stains to show up different parts of the cell. Some parts of the cell show under some stains, but you might require a different stain to show up certain organelles within the cell. I wouldn't worry too much. They will continue to find out what all of the cell components are doing, so they can give you an accurate diagnosis
