Small "nipple shaped" growth on my leg

Hi! I am a 22 year old female, and about a year ago, I noticed a small, slightly raised spot on the inside of the back of my upper thigh.  The growth has grown in size over the year, although still small, it has the apperance of a "small growth on top of a larger growth". Th give a better depiction, it has the appearance of a small male nipple. Do you have any suggestions as to what this may be?
This growth is very soft and nonpainful.

It could be a skin tag or a plain old mole or many other things. It looks fairly harmless to me but I'm not a doctor. If I was you I would keep an eye on it monthly and if it change size or colour I would see a doctor.

Take care.
