Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be seborrhoeic keratoses. It is not looking like a mole.
Seborrhoeic keratoses is a benign growth of keratinocytes which is very common in middle age and elderly individuals.
Nothing to worry as it is benign.

Dr Asmeet
