Q: Possible melanoma ?

I just found a few new moles on my body. They are less than the size of a pencil eraser but are very dark for my skin type - they look black! I recently had an appt with the dermotologist to remove a big ugly mole i have and when i was in there she said she wasnt concerned at all about the raised ugly one, but more about the many black ones i have. I just thought they were black freckles! So she biopsied two of them by excisional biopsy with stitches. I am nervously awaiting results! She said there were several others she wanted to biopsy but that we'd start with the two and do more if necessary. So when i got home I checked over myself and found these two. They are smaller than the ones she removed but also seem odd to me. WDYT? I am getting worried! I am 34 and have YEARS of sun damage. NOT smart I know.
