It wasn't malignant yet, for which I was very grateful. However, it wasn't benign, either, and the edges weren't clean, which meant more surgery.
The stitches didn't hold it well enough, so the biopsy site ended up looking almost like a bullet hole. Today the doctor took the rest of her "pound of flesh" -- not really a pound, but I now have an incision that is a little over an inch long. To prevent a recurrance of the incision popping open, I can't do much of anything. It's because of the location, which is a difficult spot, so it's hard to avoid stressing the incision.
It hurts a bit tonight, but at least this should take care of this particular problem so it won't develop into Melanoma.
