Keep it under observation for changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
I reviewed your photo.

It seems to me nothing to worry about.
I would say that you keep an eye on it. It should start getting better in one week up to 1 month or not getting worse.

If worse or not better, I would recommend seeing a local doctor. They can watch it with a tool which looks at it with magnifier and can identify it if needs to be removed or can be still just observed.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
