The reassuring news is that most "spots" have nothing to do with skin cancer. In fact, we all get some discolorations as we age. Some providers are way too trigger happy/alarmist when it comes to biopsies, and this certainly may have been the case that you describe. You made the correct choice by seeking a second opinion.
