Had a follow up appoint to biopsy two other suspicious looking moles.
For educational purposes here's what they look like, so you can self-check.





The darker splotches with the mole is what got the doc's attention.

The pics were taken after they shot the moles with a local anesthetic. Then they take a disposable plastic handled rod with a small round stainless cutter like a hole punch about 3mm in dia and 4mm in depth and take a plug out for the biopsy. Add a couple sutures and you're good to go, the whole process was 30 minutes max.

I'll post the results later next week.
