Brief Answer:
Mole

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The black spot is a mole. It is common and there is nothing to worry about it. Just keep a watch if any of these moles increase in size suddenly or develop bleeding. In such cases you must meet a doctor.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.

Thank you.
