Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is probably a mole.
Correct treatment needs correct diagnosis...
A correct diagnosis can only be made by directly examining it / may be a biopsy may be necessary.
A dermatologist is the apt person to do so.
Most of them, can be removed nowadays, by laser treatment.
A plastic surgeon is the next choice.
Take care
Wishing you speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
