Have your dr see it: You may want to have your pcp dr. Look at it more closely. It's probably nothing too serious, especially if it's flat, and hasn't changed size in 5 years. However he may need to refer you to age dermatologist, in case there's a need to work it up further. If it's an angioma, it can be treated easily.
