I had a melanacytic nevus completely excised almost 3 months ago and got a good report…recently Ihave noticed a new small mole has appeared at the end of the scar. This mole is brand new and doesnt look strange, but it worries me that it appeared there where they removed a melanacytic mole. What should I do? I don’t have my checkup at the dermatologist for almost 6 months. I would definitely call the dermatologist and express your worry. They may want to see it and decide whether to remove it. I wouldn’t wait 6 months. Let us know how things go. I agree with Catherine. You noticed it, your derm should probably take a look at it sooner rather than later. And chances are, it probably is nothing. By why take that chance. Good Luck! (I found two of my own in-situs during my regular skin checks.) Since it was a benign mole that was removed, it’s most likely the same benign mole growing back. However, anything new always needs checked. Good luck! Thanks everyone! I had it checked and it was an inherent mole that she wasn’t worried about. I will continue to watch it, but all is well right now
