Doctor, I have monitored it over the years, and lately it does appear it has increased in size, maybe by about 20%. What do you think?

Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
20 % increase is insignificant. If it doubles in size over a period of few months then there is a need to be cautious.
Just relax.
It's not dangerous.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
