Yes there has been a few times in the past 10 yrs that the results were positive & necessary treatment was done but most of the time the results are negative. Another question I have is, if there is in fact something that needs attention and it happens to be a spot that is teeny tiny does that spot need attention immediately or can it wait a yr or two? Appreciate your input.

OP I have similar concerns. Sometimes I wonder if some of the treatments by my Dermatologist are just making her more money or are they really necessary.
As we age, is it not "normal" for aging spots to appear? I don't remember my Dad---who spent many more hours outside in the sun than me---he never went to a Dermatologist. I will probably keep going every six months but I still wonder!
