Mild or Mild-Moderately Atypical Mole:
We normally recommend MONITORING these. If they show signs of growing back (darkness, bump, tenderness, ...) then we should consider excising. If you want the atypical mole excised instead of monitoring, that is an option.
Moderately Atypical Mole:
We normally recommend EXCISING these. There is some debate on if these can just be monitored.
Moderate-Severely Atypical Mole:
These should be EXCISED.
Severely Atypical Mole:
These should be EXCISED.
