Found a tan spot on my chest about a month ago, almost looks like a cigarette burn but tan. doesn't hurt itch bleed or anything. should i be worried?

Watch for changes: Any brown or black skin spot/mole can be a melanoma which is a dangerous type of cancer. Usually it will grow in size or change in colour with time. So look for any changes over the next few months. If you are worried and do notice changes, get it removed by a doctor or go to a skin specialist called dermatologist.
