Yes: Sounds like a benign mole to me. A 3mm pigmented spot that hasn't changed in two years is very unlikely to be melanoma.

Mole : I agree wi dr. Klein on this. A pigmented mole that doesn't change size or color in 2 years is benign. You can always have a dermatologist remove it for cosmetic reasons - but don't stress about it. Remember the abcds of melanoma - assymmetry, border, color, and diameter. If it didn't become irregular in shape, develop a "spreading" border, change colors, or grow, it's not melanoma.

ABCD's: Remember your abcd's when thinking of melanoma. Look for moles with asymmetry boarders that are irregular color differences within the same mole diameter greater than 6mm also any new mole or old that starts to itch, bleed or ulcerate should be of concern. Another rule is the ugly duckling rule. Which refers to a mole that looks distantly different from the others on your body.
