Specializes in Dermatology

Nevus: What you are describing sounds like a mole (nevus). If it is new, growing, changing or you are concerned, you should have it looked at by your pcp or a dermatologist. There are many other things this could be, but you should let a medical professional tell you about it in person. Good luck to you.
