Probably seborrhoec keratosis and of no consequence. If your still worried a removal under local a aesthetic and diagnosis can be done. Good Luck

What you described suggests seborrheic keratosis, a benign lesion. You may watch and wait. If the lesion doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
