Hi,

It's good that you have a dermatologist appointment next week as they will address the regrowth. It sounds like the scrape biopsy didn't remove it all & they may have to do a surgical removal. I hope the biopsy results show that it's something that, once properly removed, will cause no further problem. Good luck and please let us know how you get on,

Thanks Angie! I'll keep you posted. I should know more next week.

Update: I went to the dermatologist and they did another biopsy since it grew back fast. The first one hasn't come back yet and it's been 10 days- I should know by the end of the week.

Hi,

It's good that they've removed the new growth at your appointment - I bet that was a shock. I hope the results come back quickly as promised. Good luck and please let us know how you get on,

I got the results from the first biopsy and it came back as squamous cell carcinoma. My doctor is going to schedule a Mohs surgery.

OK, that may be why it grew back so quickly (melanoma tends to be slower in growing back at the original site). It's good that your doctor has a treatment plan sorted out for you. Hopefully the Mohs will sort out the lesion and you will have no further problem xx

Thanks!
