Q: Should I Be Worried?

I went to the Dr. Yesterday because I wanted my Dr. To look at a very small mole on my forehead, I was concerned about it because it had scabbed over a month before and disappeared, and is now growing back but very small, I was thinking the Dr. Will probably lauph at me because this mole is so small, so I thought I better look and see if I have any other ones for him to look at. I had forgotten I had one on my upper leg, and it is bigger than all my other moles, and has two different shades of brown in it, and isn't perfectly round. The Dr. Isn't concerned with the mole on my forehead, but he wants to remove the one of my leg tomorrow. He is completely removing it tomorrow with some tissue around it. Should I be concerned that this could be malignant melanoma?
Thanks

Its hard to say but the fact that it is being removed does ring some alarm bells.Generally this must fit into some of the criteria else it would not have been removed at all for testing.Have to wait and see.Good look
