I hate to be *that* person, but this article is very poorly written. The info is good, but the structure is horrific.
I agree, glitter. Step 1: See your doc if … wasn't actually step 1. I was hoping for a better description of moles vs. pre-cancer, for instance. And maybe even some pics. This just read as a laundry list of treatments long after suspicion, when the problem is already diagnosed.
OhJoy - here's a skin cancer resource (with pics!).

and some interactive tools for recognizing melanoma

If it is at all practical remove the lesion completely,no harm done if the biopsy comes back negative. Instead of leaving some mole behind to give it more chance to do its deadly work as they did to my now deceased aunt.
