Brief Answer:
Seems to be seborrhoeic keratoses

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed the newly attached photographs. It seems to be seborrhoeic keratosis which is a benign lesion of keratocytes.
It is not looking like a wart or a mole.

I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get it removed by electrocautery.

Hope I have answered your query.
