When I get things frozen off the dr. tells me to constantly keep vaseline on it while healing. You don't want it to scab over.

@kivah I applaud your doctor for sending you to a specialst vs thinking they could diagnose and treat you themselves. As my first dermatologist said, most doctors get about a day of dermatology in medical school. It's best to leave these things to the people who work with them and look at them every single day.
A dermatologist will decide if something needs to be frozen off vs cut off for biopsy and will know what needs to be watched and what is a normal skin change.
I go every 6 months to have my moles checked as I have many from years of living in the sun without sunscreen and many serious burns from falling asleep in the sun when I was in my teens.

I've seen my dermatologist 3x within the last year for both shave and punch biopsies. I am always given an instruction sheet on how to care for my wound. As a very fair skinned redhead, my wounds always get very red and take awhile to heal and fade.
