Brief Answer:
A benign nevus

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

It looks very much like a benign nevus- small, well defined, with regular margins , uniformly colored, flat and with intact surface. it is not something to be concerned about.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
