Check it out. : It may not be anything serious at all, but a visit to the Dermatologist couldn't hurt. If you feel that it's growing or changing in color or thickness, then a visit to the Dermatologist is essential for proper diagnosis. Chances are it's fine. But sometimes these things take us by surprise.
