> every spot (5+ over the past decade) I’ve asked my dermatologist about has resulted in a biopsy

Not to be too cynical but... is there a financial incentive for them to do a biopsy?

Of course it might be best practice as well.

I’m sure there is an incentive, but at least in my case the rate of biopsy to confirm cancers is greater than 50% so it certainly seems to me like the biopsies are in fact warranted.
