Superficial Spreading Melanoma On Upper Thigh, 5 Moles Removed, Conservative Re-excision Advised. Needed ?
Hi, My name is AAAAA and im 48 yrs old. I had Superficial spreading Melanoma 5 years ago on my upper thigh. I have been getting body scans for 5 years and last month i had to go to a new doctor in NJ. because the insurance was dropped at the other office. I had 5 moles removed and 2 of them read this: The lesion extends to one lateral margin of the tissue specimen. A conservative re-excision with a zone of normal non-scarred skin is advised. The other one read: this lesion should eb removed completely because solitary nelanocytes in the epidermis predominate over nests. A conservative re-excision with a zone of normal non scarred skin is advised. so my question is , Do I need more surgery to have this removed? Thanls AAAA

Hi, it appears that you have conservative re exxcision is better as it is non invasive, and you will have a possibility of having excision latter if necesory.
I advise you to have good food, with green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods for the healthy skin. Thank you.
