Is spot harmless?
Hello, I've had a spot on my back for about 6 months now, Its next to a skin tag, I remember itching it and thinking it was a mosquito bite, the itching went away and I forgot about it, then one day I touched it and it had crusted over, that eventually came off but I have kept an eye on it since, Its small, just raised slightly and is only slightly darker than my skin. Mosquito bites usually disappear after a while so I'm a little concerned about it, should I worry about it? Thankyou
