Question : I have a small 3mm spot on my mid back. I cant really tell if its raised. It may be slightly raised. Very slightly. Ive enclosed a picture of it. I do have a history of atypical moles and moles in general. I also have a few suborrheic keratosis as well. Is this something i should be concerned about? Is this a mole or suborrheic keratosis? Sometimes its hard to tell them apart. From what i know its been there for awhile and hasnt changed shape or size on me. I do plan on a complete body check in a couple of months.
