What Causes Brown Spots On The Pubic Area?
Question: Had a red/brown spot appear on pubic area 3 weeks ago. It is about 4mm-5mm. Went and saw the doctor about it who said it was a mole. I am still feeling somewhat concerned, could I get your opinion if I attached a picture?
Brief Answer:
It is simple mole without any irregular borders
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the red/brown spot appear on pubic area.
After analyzing the picture with best diligence let me reassure you that your doctor is correct in his/her diagnosis of mole. It is simple mole without any irregular borders in your mole or any variegated (different) colors.
So in my opinion nothing is to be worried about in the same. There is no active treatment required for the same. But still if you are very much worried then it can be simply excised.
I reassure you again that you should no be worried in the same.
I hope this information helps.
"Wish you good health"

Thank you. I thought it looked like that however it is flat on my skin and not raised like it says they are?
Brief Answer:
It is just the beginning stage of the seborrehic keratosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is just the beginning stage of the seborrehic keratosis. It is always flat to begin with and is always noticed incidentally. As you have noticed recently so it not going to be raised so early. It takes multiple months to years to get it raised and rough which you usually see on internet images.
So relax totally and don to worry even for single percent regarding any serious nature of the condition.
All best wishes.
