Hello,
I think that it is a simple mole and nothing is to be worried about. Melanoma has an irregular border, is asymmetrical, uneven color and increasing in size. If you notice changes in the mole's/mark’s color, height, size or shape, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it. You also should have it checked if it bleeds, oozes, itches, appear scaly, or become tender or painful. Otherwise it should be left as such.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
