Nevis: It sounds like a mole or Nevus and if it is painful may need to be removed. See you doctor for an exam and an opinion. All the best.

Dark skin lesion: requires a comprehensive dermatological evaluation and possibly a biopsy- do not ignore.

Dermatologic: evaluation is the only way to correctly identify this lesion & if any course of action is indicated. Take care.
