: You should ask for a copy of the pathology report. However, if the site has not changed in one year it is likely a benign lesion.

You may watch and wait. If the mole/spot doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
